#32 smartest but #46 in teacher pay... How's that for making the dollar stretch?:rolleyes:

That’s right :)

yahooo!!!!!!!!!!! New Jersey is #4 !! That's where I got my education... however I now go to college in South Carolina [36]... go figure:rolleyes:

Go MA! Number 7!

I went to one of the better public school systems (according to test scores, drop out rate, percentage of grads going on to 4 year colleges and other factors) in the number 7 state in the nation and I still think my education was pretty crappy. I would hate to have attended a school in one of the lower tier states. It really says alot about our nation's public schools.

Woohoo Go Texas! In the top 20 and the highest in the South!

Don't I feel like a dumb@ss. <---Ohio #41

Kentucky would be a lot better if we could count only from Lexington west. For God sakes those people in eastern kentucky don't even wear shoes much less read.

Georgia is 40. Thats real encouraging for a future Georgia teacher.

Oh you're just setting yourself up for that one......

Is that why they passd the law requiring everyone in Kentucky to bathe at least once a year?

Aparently bathing was a huge issue back in the day. It was the only way to get clean after sleeping with your sister.

Aw... we've resorted to dis-ing each others states!! :( I'm surprised no one's said anything bout Jersey (where I'm from). I SWEAR we're not the armpit of america!! Haha, I get that alot!!

yeah..i was actually pretty surprised that NJ was ranked #4..take that all you jersey dissers..

but you know..you have to admit that some parts of jersey are kinda stinky..however..very strange, but i swear when you drive on the parkway around the elmwood park/rt 80 exit (right before the bergen county toll plaza) it smells like butterscotch..how bizarre is that

yeah i was definitely surprised about the #4!! But yay anyway. Oh I know there are some terrible/stinky parts of Jersey. have you driven to Newark AirPort on route 22? It's about 20min outside my town. I live in a nice, little, colonial town.... oh have any of y'all ever seen the tv show "Ed" in stuckeyville... the bowling alley one? WELL... the opening credits are my hometown. The big white church, the downtown.. etc.. all mine!! That's my claim to fame. It;s cool to watch it.. makes me homesick. NBC wednesday nights @ 8!! :D

anyway. have a great day everyone
