[quote=Anonymous]School A: private, 90K a year, 4% match on a retirement acct, class size capped at 18, 2 teachers per room (teaching partner is amazing), terrible, terrible student behavior, 1-1.5 hour each way commute

School B: public, 120K a year, continue contributing to pension, self contained sped room kids with significant cognitive issues but no expected major behaviors, 10-12 students, 1 teacher and 3-4 TA's, while behaviors aren't expected you can never be sure they won't still happen or a kid might transfer in with major behaviors, 25-30 minute commute each way

School C: public, 85-90K a year, continue contributing to pension, gen ed room, 20 students and 1 teacher, behavior unknown, but principal is known to try and fast track major behaviors into appropriate sped placement.  I've worked with this principal before and she's amazing. 5 minute bike ride commute each way.

I'm currently at school A.  I left a different public because student behavior was so awful I stopped sleeping at night and had to go on medication.  Behavior is just as bad at private.  I want to leave.  But I don't know if I'm thinking straight.  I have a few more years left, then I will retire from full time teaching.  Any input?[/quote]
