You have a big opinion of yourself if you think you can figure out what teachers need by listening to them. Maybe in your local hollow or town but please don't project those needs onto other states and communities. You're not that smart. Just based on what W Viginia invests in their children I would think they need a hell of a lot so tax the residents more so their children have a chance in this world. Please don't tell us here in MA what we need. Our students finish pretty high when compared to other countries in science and math. Last I checked both in the top ten. But our values are different than the values help by the majority of people in W Virginia. Maybe you should focus on changing your values or move away from what appears a vast wasteland of stupid. Your children would probably appreciate that later in life.
