    I went to a DoDDS school overseas and can confirm it was miles ahead of the public schools I went to in the US. The teachers were all well paid with a generous COLA. The school, while crowded, was in good shape.

    The best thing though was that we had such high turnover year to year (about 30% of students changed each year) so there weren’t a lot of cliques and most people were pretty inviting.

    Oh and getting expelled would result in getting deported which kept a lot of problems at bay.

      I didn’t know the situation was so dire in the US that a bottle of coke was worse more than a public teacher’s salary ^^
