Lol- at the teachers make no money. I agree. I was accepted into Teach for America and I wanted to D.C. or Atlanta, but was placed in Houston. When I found out what they got paid AND that HISD was the only TFA city in which TFA teachers had to spend their own money and give up their Fridays and Saturdays to go through emergency certification. Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....No! So, instead of doing TFA for 2 years and going to law school, I just went law school.
It also had to do with the fact that I have a B.S. in engineering from a top engineering school and I wanted to teach high school math. Ummm, HISD gave me middle school earth science....no!
But on the highway note, in Houston there are five highways that run directly through the city. In D.C. I know of one- 95, I rarely venture into the suburbs. All I know is in Houston I can get on the highway and travel 30 miles in 30 minutes- in D.C. I CANNOT get on the highway and it takes me 30 minutes to go the 7 miles from Capitol Hill to Howard Law...grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
