[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I am a soon to be divorced mom, thinking of changing my preschool teaching career to a FCPS teaching career so I can support my children. I’m reading all your notes about how much time/little pay there is for teachers here, so I’m wondering if this is a smart move for me, as a soon to be single mom? Has a Many Thanks!![/quote] How old are your kids? If they are elementary age, it can be rough to juggle the needs of your family with the needs of work, especially if kids get sick. Middle school/high school are more independent (can be home sick alone, should be able to do homework without help) and can do more to help around the house (like dinner prep). I'm a career changer, and the first couple of years were really overwhelming, partly because I was designing curriculum for a new course so every day was full lesson creation for the next day. My husband ended up with more of the daily chores and schedule juggling during the school year, and I have more during summers.[/quote]
