Re: Does anyone teach in Montana and love it?
Posted by The conclusion? on 1/23/08
After all is said and done, it looks the the following are fairly conclusive regarding teaching in Montana (does anyone think it's funny that the website misspelled the state name?): 1) Montana teachers are the worst paid in the country. 2) The cost of living in Montana is very high. 3) You can't get decent housing (probably from a combination of 1 & 2). 4) If you have kids, they'll end up being Juvenile Delinquents (and what does that say about your potential students?). No wonder teachers are moving out of Montana in droves. On 1/08/08, Bobcat wrote: > I grew up in Montana, taught in CA and moved back to Montana.
