I would be very careful about DE. It seems the current
administration is very anti education. They gave a raise to
every state employee except those in education. Then this
year they gave every state employee a 10 pecent pay cut
including teachers. DE has the most private schools than
anywhere I have ever heard of. I think this is one of the
reasons why public education in DE gets bled dry all the
time. Anyone in DE gov't sends their kids to private so they
don't seem to care about public schools what so ever to them
its just another expense that they don't need.
