I heard the following talk from one of my Cd's which does not come with the transcript. Therefore I just tried the best I can to take them down by myself.

A: ...I guess you have the perfect job.
B: Ya! I like it a lot. There is just one thing I don't like.
A: What's that?
B: The distance to school. It's too far away. It takes me an hour to drive there every day.
A: Wow! That must be awful.
B: It is, but the school that are near me are not
as good.

My question is for the last sentence. I think that

not as good = not as good as the school I am teaching currently

Is that right? Please advise.

Hi,

A small point, probably a typo.

B: It is, but the schools that are near me are not as good.

Best wishes, Clive
