Re: Does anyone teach in Montana and love it?
Posted by Soon to Montana on 1/24/07

    Those are my thoughts also.

    I'm planning on moving to Montana next year. I have 30 years
    of professional business experience and 2+ years of high
    school math teaching experience (and some college teaching
    experience).

    I want to teach to stay busy. Fortunately, I'm not worried
    about the money as my previous career made that a non-issue.
    I'm just hopeful there is a need for experienced math teachers
    in Montana.
