The pay is much lower here. They expect you to do a lot more
things after school and not get paid for it. Also, they don't
have teachers unions here like they do in Michigan. Health
insurance can cost more for families or couples than it does in
Michigan. Really, I think the kids are much further behind than
they are in Michigan.

I have just had an overall bad experience. Many unqualified
teachers with emergency teaching certificates worked at the
first school I was at. They even had a teacher doing spec. ed
who had never passed any state test and was working on an
emergency substitute certificate.

AZ just has lower standards for teachers and students, and most
of the people that work in the schools don't seem very educated.
