I suggest that instead of judging yourself's against the Small pool of Norfolk maybe you should step out of your comfort zone and judge your self agains the teachers in the rest of the nation. Norfolk public schools don't even rank in the top 25 in the nation.

ray, you are shortsighted

Congratulation to these educators’! My concurrence educators are under compensated but, when you allow a selected few with personal financial interest controls the massive, what we are experiencing is the result, a display of the American’s value system, or lack of, values!

Common guys the universities are not for everyone these days, it is very costly just accept, only alternative now is something called "High Speed University" where you pay much much less but get degree faster
