I am from Colorado. The educational system in Colorado is much
better than here in California. And the average individual in
Colorado is much better educated than the average individual
in California. There is no reason for anyone in Colorado to be
impressed by a California credential or California teaching
experience. Having experienced both places, if I were a
principal I would not want to hire a California teacher
because I would be afraid that they would be infected with the
many attitudes that make many California schools such
failures. No offense to you. I am not saying YOU are a bad
teacher. I am just saying that since I wouldn't know you, I
wouldn't want to take the gamble that you would be different
than the other people from California. I think states like
Nevada and Arizona, Texas and New Mexico would be impressed by
a California credential and do not have worse schools than
California. But Colorado is just better than they are when it
comes to the schools (not Denver though, Denver schools are
pretty bad like urban schools in California but someone would
have to be nuts to want to teach in the Denver schools.
However, the schools in the suburbs of Denver especially South
in Littleton and Cherry Creek are very good).
