Interesting comment... I keep getting surprised by implicit first world assumptions on HN.
I'm not the OP but you could consider hypothetically as an example, would great teachers largely choose to settle in PNW?
- macrocosmos 2y agoYes they would. It’s a beautiful part of the country. And I know great teachers that live there.
- antics 2y agoUnfortunately, our reservation is in central Oregon, which is less desirable. Even if we were not forced out of the ancestral homeland (what is now called the Columbia River Gorge), I'm not sure that would have been better. Although pretty, it is very out of the way, and people do not know that it is in the same class as the Yangtze (say).
- Viliam1234 2y agoNot sure where you see assumptions. There are many possible problems, and I don't know OP's situation, which is why I was asking what is the main problem there. Sometimes it's teachers. Sometimes it's textbooks. Sometimes it's not having a roof above your head. Sometimes the kids are starving and can't focus on the lessons. Sometimes it's different language. > would great teachers largely choose to settle in PNW? One possible reason is that some of them could be born there. Again, this differs between communities. Some of them respect their smartest members. Some kick them out.
