[quote=Anonymous]As a teacher who has worked in both low and high SES schools, I can honestly say I far prefer the high SES school environment. At my previous (low SES) high school, I felt degraded every single day. The kids treated me horribly and the administration was completely ineffectual. I understand that many of these kids are coming from homes with little to no support, but after a while, it becomes time to think about my own quality of life. I was finally able to find a position at a high SES high school and the difference is like night and day. The kids come to school ready to learn, prepared, and respectful. They are truly a joy to teach, and I tell their parents so at every BTSN. Admin treats all the teachers like the valuable members of the team we are, and parents are involved and supportive. While I occasionally run into a helicopter parent, I much prefer that to the checked out parents who just don't give a damn.[/quote]
