My neice is a thrid Grade School teacher with a PHD in Teaching. She would never move to Florida because her pay is almost 3xs greater than the highest paycheck as yearly income. They don't call Florida a Plantation State for nothing. And she has paid summer off.

It isn't puzzling to me. It is pathetic and disgusting. I'm retired. I have no children in Hillsborough County schools. But an investment in schools is an investment in the future.
