[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have heard that new grads coming into the DC area rank MCPS as first pick followed by HCPS, then PGCPS, and some of the affluent counties in Viginia in similar order. Private schools are not highly ranked by the young, motivated newer teachers. [/quote]

The best teachers can handle any situation.  Just b/c you can teach in a private school doesn't make you stellar.  Being successful in a public school does say quite a bit about you, however.  [/quote]

Really?

I know preschool teachers who would hate high school and visa versa. My friend teaches emotionally disturbed children and it is a gift. Not every teacher can do that. I can teach Math but hate English.[/quote]

WHAT are you talking about?

I teach English but am not certified nor am I interested in math.  I wasn't talking about content area or grade level - esp. levels, as teachers are usually certified in early childhood, elementary or secondary.

I'm talking about the demands placed upon teachers in the public system.  Are you telling me that I - an English teacher with on level grade 9 and AP 12, with classes of 30 students (or more) - won't find private school to be a piece of cake?  Oh - I'll add in that we're high FARMs/high ESOL.

If you're a successful public school educator, making the switch to private is easy.  [/quote]
