BUFORDGAWOLVES Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 It's also expensive to live in Alaska. Wyoming not bad pay scale, as long as it's not Jackson Hole or another resort area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMaximumHornetSting Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 That Hawaii pay is poor when you toss in their cost of living... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FolsomPrisonBlues Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 If you want a decent public school system, you have to pay your teachers. Look at the correlation between pay and the worst rated public school systems and see where they are. It is truly alarming. You get what you pay for.

Locals get everything cheaper. Cost of living wasn’t all that bad when I lived there but I didn’t have family at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because most "upper income" families have both (usually educated) parents at home, live in safe neighborhoods, and teach their children about discipline and responsibility growing up. There are exceptions to both, but they are the minority. Ive coached kids from the upper class burbs, and Ive coached kids from the hood. Guess which one was BY FAR easier to coach and FAR less mouthy? Thats learned behavior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some kids with both parents that are disrespectful,mouthy,spoiled and down right unpleasent... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
