Posted by Dale on 8/31/08
Using your figure of 70% is still an overwhelming sign of truth about
the teacher-hiring procedures in DE as a teacher. However, I will
unwaveringly stick with my opinions on the subject which are backed
up by years of experience with the powers-that-be, have been, and
always will be in DE and many other states.
