[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]having experienced small class sizes EOTP and big class sizes WOTP I would take wotp any day.  I found the quality if the teachers and having a less challenging student body more important to a good school experience.  [/quote]
The best teachers my children had were at a title 1 elementary school.  They dealt with trauma, food insecurity, behavior and taught.  The easy jobs are WOTP elementary schools.  You just need to show up.

I’ve taught at both. In a WOTP school you need to have great customer service skills and be at the whims of obnoxious parents and poor administration. EOTP I had to be much better at differentiating my instruction, more empathetic and trauma informed in my practices, and come up with such different and unique ways to engage my students.

I loved my WOTP kids, but a robot or a computer could’ve taught 95% of them. I feel like I have to use much more of my brain and skill set EOTP.

In both areas, I found my colleagues very qualified, but I think WOTP teachers skills are more likely to atrophy bc they have no urgent need to sharpen their abilities. So much focus on satisfying parents[/quote]
