Re: right when we thought it was over...
Posted by NC is a good place on 4/05/08
Why are you so defensive??? There is plenty of job security in
NC. Nobody's losing jobs. Probationary teachers can be let go
for any reason but they rarely are-and the rarely is when
they're SO bad. We have one tenured teacher at my school who
needs to leave teaching but even without a union, the process to
fire her is daunting and hasn't happened. It's not especially
cheap to live here but not especially expensive either. Our
benefits aren't so bad either compared to most places. There
are many that would say Michigan's benefits are unrealistic and
reflect an economy that's no longer there. I'm not prepared to enter the geographic wars I've seen on this
board. I'm just commenting that in my opinion it's the
disgruntled who mostly post on this issue. Those of us who are
happy campers don't usually come back here. On 4/05/08, I didn't say it was a bad place... wrote:
