[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I left a neighboring county for a private school. It was a great choice and I’m much happier now.

I don’t make as much, but I am treated so much better. The biggest difference (to me) is admin. The private school admin is there to help teachers succeed. I don’t face unnecessary roadblocks anymore. The administration also makes logical choices, and reaches out to teachers for our opinions all of the time. It’s amazing how effectively we all work together.

I do work harder because expectations are higher. Still, the work environment makes me motivated to do it. There’s a sense of a shared goal.

I miss the pension, but they do contribute to my retirement.

I recommend looking at private. I would have left teaching altogether if I didn’t make the switch.

I’m the PP, editing to add that I’m at a Catholic school. I do get annual raises.

Easily 1/3 of the staff is made of former public school teachers. We have talked about the switch, and the general consensus is that it was the best choice we made.[/quote]
