[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm curious what are the experiences of teachers at TJ or Sidwell - i.e. places with 'self-selecting' student bodies.

Is teacher satisfaction up super high in those schools? [/quote]

At private schools, teachers are paid MUCH less and the jobs usually don't come with benefits. In addition, sometimes you have to deal with pushy parents, etc. However, the class sizes are reasonable, the resources are better,  and the students tend to be better behaved.

I worked at a school similar to TJ/Blair. It had it's own challenges, but all the students were well behaved in class and generally wanted to learn. The hours were still long Jobs at the "best" schools tend to be harder to get and pull the top teachers away from schools that have more challenges. [/quote]

Every private school I know of and the ones where I worked have benefits. In fact, I'm not sure a school could deny benefits to a full time employee? Is this Catholic schools? [/quote]
