[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've taught in a variety of schools. In a large public school system like FCPS, it is definitely easier to teach at a school where most students come from middle or upper middle-class backgrounds. The students come to class prepared, the parents make sure the children arrive with full stomachs, and there is far less pressure from the cluster/region administrators to teach to the SOLs. It can be rewarding to mentor students from lower-income backgrounds, many of whom are very sweet, but there are also more kids who are years behind and barely literate in their native language. Teachers burn out quickly in those environments and seek out less stressful positions.[/quote] Yeah, but how many schools like that that are there in FCPS?[/quote]
