I’ve lived in Florida since 1972 and we have 3 daughters, all are teachers.

Also, my understanding is that Florida has a large number of students who are disrespectful and not committed to learning. I was fortunate to attend parochial schools in the sixties where students might or might not be smart, but we were respectful and attentive and safe. There were no bullies. Our schoolbooks were old, but that didn’t matter. We all learned what we needed to know. Our library had enough interesting books so that I could read a book a day. There were no books to which the Free State would object, but we survived somehow. Tuition was low because special education hadn’t been invented yet. Most of us came from households where education was supported instead of denigrated as unimportant. My kids went to a school like that, too. That’s how schools SHOULD be. As I understand it, a lot of Florida students make the lives of teachers very unhappy. I wouldn’t want to teach in a school like that. I think this is the best time ever to be alive, but it’s not a good time to be an elementary school or high school teacher.
