We are definitely not sad, but not exactly ecstatic.

There is a study out that lists, out of the entire country, which is the best state to be a teacher. The criteria varied between fair pay, teacher turnover and per student teacher ratio. The top state may surprise you.

Yes, we know you have a high tax burden in New York. But maybe you get through it by thinking 'I get a lot for our tax dollars.' Maybe not.

As I was skimming through some articles, one made me stop: "Here's the Best State for Older Americans - And the Worst." I knew New York wouldn't be listed as the best. But, listen I'm not one to put us down, by any means! I'm just aware of the troubles that could be considered living here. I also didn't think we'd be the worst either, which we're not. But, where did we fall?

October 5th is World Teachers Day, and when it comes to the best states for teachers to work, New York is near the top.
