[quote=Anonymous]As a parent who went from a DCPS Title 1, Head Start program to the suburbs, unless our Arlington teachers (who are wonderful) are hiding in the evening, they aren't working the same hours as our DCPS teaches did. Both our ECE teachers were in the building until 6-7pm most nights and were present at night and weekends at various school events, kids birthday parties, just simply around.  In the summers they came to our home for the Flamboyan home visit.  They would come to before school PTA meetings.  Our ECE teachers were excellent, but they worked more than I do as an attorney.  They made such an enormous impact on my child's life that I cannot adequately describe it or thank them enough.  We all work for different reasons, and my best guess is that they work to make that difference and not for the extra money (and extra money isn't a bad thing...it's why I do what I do).  Again, our Arlington teachers are great. It's just an entirely different environment.

Best of luck to you in your decision! [/quote]
