[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would love to hear from teachers.  Is it truly worth the lower salary to teach in a private school?   [/quote]

YES! YES! YES!

As for tuition benefits: Most of the elite schools do not offer tuition remission for their teacher's students. Still worth it to teach here. [/quote]

14:42 here-- while many (most?) schools don't have a remission policy, it's been my experience among my teacher friends that schools will make an effort to make tuition affordable for faculty children.  I know plenty of teacher families of modest means (like my own) that have children at the private schools where they work.[/quote]

PP here-Yes, I should have mentioned that in my reply. My school does not offer tuition remission for children of faculty and they need to go through the regular admissions process just as any other student would. That said, there is plenty of financial aide available for teacher's kids here, and a lot of teachers do end up enrolling their children. I was only commenting on the perception that private school teachers can send their children to &lt;their school&gt; for free, and that's why we teach here. [/quote]
