Not sure what your preference for 495 is all about, but check out towns served by the T or the commuter rail if you want easy access to all Boston has to offer. Quincy is more affordable than Boston, but still city vibe and minutes from Boston.

Ok but why, we are already over taxed. I'm team citizens. Not team government theft.

Very easy to make a road a toll road now with electronic tolling

Always wondered how this works in practice. How do you know how much the person behind you is going to order when you’re placing your order?

I will also strongly advocate for Western MA and the Pioneer Valley. It's a wonderful area with a lot of really great communities and school districts, especially if OP is looking for a small town connection with their students.

It's mostly on the material end, fencing products are almost double a couple year's ago price.

Watch some YouTube videos, dig out the boom box, buy a case of beer and some pizzas, invite friends over for a fence day.

My turn moved the HS start time late and kids are definitely missing the last block for sports.

I think so, too. It is not like other places in the US. Teaching is a popular profession in MA, and the requirements are a lot more intense and difficult than just “taking a few exams.” Our exams are a lot worse to pass than the Praxis, which is what TX has.

I think OP might be in for a bit of an unpleasant surprise in regards to the lack of a teacher shortage here in MA. Also, with the ESSER funds running out, a lot of districts are cutting staff. But, as you've said, if he'she is in STEM, special education, or TESOL, he'she should be ok. That SEI course is intense.
OP, you should check MA DESE's website and start looking into whether your credentials will be accepted here before you start moving.

Pretty sure those pay much less and lack the benefits of public school districts, though

My suggestion would be to get a job first. There are many teacher candidates and not enough jobs, unless you’re certified in a high demand area like math, science, EL, or sped. You also need your masters in addition to a MA teaching license WITH an SEI endorsement. You will not be offered a job without them.

Yes. All public schools and grade levels require a masters. You can teach at a private school without one, though.

For our dog we did just a spool of fencing for my dog. I spent a couple hundred bucks,
