[quote=Anonymous]I'm looking for thoughts from any teachers who have transferred between FCPS and ACPS. I've been an elementary teacher in FCPS for nine years and I'm thinking of switching over to ACPS. I'm expecting a baby this summer, and so it seems like a good time to cut back on my commute. The pay increase wouldn't hurt either. However, I do see some drawbacks in switching counties at a time when I'll have a lot changing in my personal life. Plus if I stay with FCPS, I have months worth of sick days saved up, so I could start the year off by taking some maternity leave (I'd already have about 6 weeks in the summer since my baby is due right at the end of the school year).

I'm wondering what you think of the differences in curriculum, available resources, etc. I know planning time will be less than what's actually needed no matter where I teach, but I'd also be interested in hearing if there's a big difference in that area. Also, I realized that a lot of the stressors will be similar, since much of that comes from the state and not the county.

Any feedback or thoughts on this would be very much appreciated! Thanks!![/quote]
