Oh I envy you, I wanted to teach overseas but I got married and well , that can't be. Anyhow I grew up in the DODD's school system. Best education ever. I am the person that I am because of that. Best teachers from all over...it was amazing. Stay where you are, enjoy that you can do what many of us WISH we could do. I moved here from Florida thinking it was better, what a mistake, it's worse. I should have listened to the people on here, anyhow, things are bad all over the country, you have the piece of gold many of us yearn for.
