[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Public pays more - I did teach in private internationally and it was easier work. More planning time - very few struggling kids so you didn’t really feel like a failure or not able to reach certain kids. I didn’t have to deal with parent issues too much because all the parents loved me being a native English speaker.[/quote]

The assumptions made about private schools show lots of people are posting who don't know what they're talking about.

In this area, the average private school pays a lower salary and has as many "problem" kids as the public schools. Lots of kids get thrown out of school or their parents pull them for other problems. The teachers I know at private schools can't get jobs in the public schools or they can't move because the public schools don't count their years of experience in the same way. A teacher with lots of experience in private schools may not been given credit for all those years and thus start at a lower level in public.

Also, the stories I can tell about the crazy people I know who have no experience teaching who should never teach who are now or were teaching at private schools.[/quote]
