My ex teaches in NC: this is where I get my info. I'm horrified by
what he tells me. I'm doing much better than he is treatment-wise,
benefit-wise, and pay-wise. My school could not get away with the
things his school pulls on a regular basis. I do have a bit of an
anti-Southern bias, but that's only because it's warrented: southern
states have a tendency to treat teachers badly. I'm sorry if I've
offended you. I have nothing against the people of NC.
