[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While it’s understandable that you want to help your friend, please consider that children will be directly affected if she is an ineffective teacher. Hiding information about a previously unsuccessful teaching job at a charter school from DCPS principals trying to make a good hiring decision is unethical. Maybe she should look for something outside the classroom directly but still in the field of education. She might find something she likes and it more successful doing. Lots of education-connected non-profits in the area.[/quote] I’m sorry, but it seems I was unclear. I thought I noted in my PS at the end of the OP that I am trying to discourage her. I agree with everything you say. She is somewhat aware that she’s not a good teacher, but that hasn’t discouraged her yet. I’m hoping DCPS and DCPCS communicate and her past firing would be a roadblock to being hired.[/quote] The reality is that no one is perfect, many of our first jobs after college and post grad school is learning how to apply theory to real world application. I’m not going to actively discourage someone like the OP, as people on this board should be grateful that anyone wants to go into teaching their little urchins and stay in teaching. Do you know how hard it is to recruit people that aren’t in teaching just to bolster their law school/Med school/other school application admissions stories? Administrators would much rather work with someone like the OP than someone who is well polished but will be there for less than 3 years. [/quote]
