"A little rain falls in everyone's life." I appreciate the difficult jobs that teachers have, and was poking fun at your inability to make a decent case for teachers. However, the truth of the matter is that the average teacher is just that: average. About half are by definition below average. And those who are above average may be swayed by the temptation to go for that $200,000 house you mention.

I'm not from Florida. If it's as terrible as you say, and your husband is as talented as you believe, perhaps he should move.

I note that, despite your obnoxious need to call me names, you end up agreeing with the most important of the points I made. If there are a number of the less-than-talented teachers in the schools in that area, they should find another job. Perhaps those who focus on the $200,000 houses don't realize how insulting it is to those "can't be bothered" parents you have such obvious contempt for, to have unqualified teachers who -- as you admit -- are not capable of thinking a full step ahead of a cranky 5-year old.
