[quote=Anonymous]Private School teacher here. I teach in the arts and it's very hard to find a position. I would have gone public or private just to get a full-time gig teaching my subject matter. Our facilities are incredible. Our kids are mostly great. I do not have the same job security as  public school teacher. I've watched people who don't "fit in" be pushed out. Some were not good educators and it was for the best. Others may have been misunderstood.

I've also had a few distasteful exchanges with parents of students who felt very entitled to opportunities, yet lacked talent and room in their schedules to be successful in the very opportunities they were demanding.

Money talks in private schools. It can't change your grade but it can get you an audience with the teacher and her administrator. That can be demoralizing. However, there are enough lovely students that that behavior is unusual.

Overall I love my job. I may be paid less than public school teachers but I'm lucky just to have the gig. [/quote]
