Sounds kinda racist, what about the cities between Tacoma and Everett?

Lmao, classist stereotypes- sure.

What about them? Based on my experience, parents in cities are either dismissive or easily enraged about school issues. I've had coworkers teach in those cities. Federal way had a ton of complaints. Auburn/sumner teachers seemed mostly happy. Kent... Shoreline is a great place to work. Seattle teachers tend to seem pretty content for the most part.

Many middle class folks see education and work ethic as a reason for success. Many impoverished folks do not see the value in education because it wasn't valued in their homes growing up, or it never benefitted them, so they don't encourage it with their children. Many upper class folks expect to be catered to, and education is not a service industry.

Again, classist stereotypes.

Shouldn’t those be targets of opportunity? Don’t search for easy search for where you are needed.
