[quote=Anonymous]I left public for private. I got a small raise, but of course I'm no longer contributing towards my pension, which is a significant long term financial loss. I actually have more face time with students, no duty free lunch, and a longer school day. I have similar behavior issues, which was a surprise. But those kids' families are pushed to get therapy, OT, etc under the assumption of "help fix this or you're out at some point". How long that will actually take is yet to be seen. I have less prep time, but I do have a full time aide, which helps a lot. The curriculum is all screwed up, but there's less pressure to meet certain standards. I just have a couple of more years and hope I can make it work for that long. I am protecting my personal time and just not working as hard after work. I arrive early, but only stay late 2 days a week. Overall, my impression is that all schools are dysfunctional and young people should avoid the profession. [/quote]
