[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Troll, loony, or terrible teacher.

No sane person would voluntarily be trying to switch from HS to MS, unless they only took up teaching for the "convenient" scheduling.[/quote]

Why would you say that?  I am OP and already said I am available every day after school.  I have been teaching over 15 years in high school and thought it would be nice to try a different level.  I am certified for both.  I enjoy the 9th graders and thought I may enjoy middle school students.  I know plenty of people working in private companies who changed jobs or careers after 10-15 years.  Teachers are not any different.  Wanting a change does not mean we are burnt out or do not like what we do.  I do not want to go into administration or consulting so changing levels is really my only option.  [/quote]

OP, there are at least 3 teachers at my middle school who switched from HS to MS and love it.  You aren't strange.  You may want to look into one of the secondary schools if they're convenient for you (Hayfield, Robinson, Lake Braddock) as they follow the HS schedule but you could teach middle schoolers for a change.[/quote]

Has anybody gone from ES to MS? It's something I've considered.[/quote]
