[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is outrageous to not give tuition remission. Let me explain my job as an independent school teacher who gets paid 40 k a year to do a job that was before I began considered a full time job, but now 85 percent. For two years I have taught with the promise of going technically full time, while I spend my vacation slaving over my extra curricular task. I spend ours at home while my daughter does not attend said school. I go above and beyond that which is required in the hopes they will give me tuition remission next year. I am not holding my breath. A job in my field was offered at another school. Guess what, I am jumping ship, because they are not honest about their intentions, nor do I trust them. So much for the amazing program I built. I love the kids and the kids love the program but my daughter comes first.

Dear God I hope you do not work at Potomac or you just totally outed yourself.. Although to be honest you may have just outed yourself regardless if you work anywhere in the DC area.

Also, and I really do mean this in a nice way, why did you think that if you did a good job at work, you would be offered tuition remission? If tuition remission is not offered as a benefit, you aren't going to get it, no matter how good of a job you do. Especially if you are not even considered a full time teacher!

The reality is that most DC independent schools do not offer tuition remission anymore. I used to be a teacher at independent schools, and I probably would have stayed if tuition remission was a benefit. Instead, I left, because the low salary wasn't worth it to me anymore with my own kids at home. I'm not bitter, though- this is what it is. No one owes you anything. If you can find a new job where you can get tuition remission, that is great![/quote]

I dunno. I am a mom and the idea of teachers not having at least some tuition remission grosses me out. We're not applying yet but now this will be an important factor for me.[/quote]
