[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP being in private will get you more freedom in how you teach and what you teach but you would have no protections. There are crazy parents and crazy department heads that can make your life miserable and it's more difficult to transfer out because if you don't get a good recommendation you can't get another job anywhere whereas in public you could switch schools.

I know a lot of happy teachers in MCPS but they  all have great principals.[/quote]

This is untrue or rare. Most parents are trying to work with the teacher - the very reason they are in private school to begin with is because of the academics so there's a huge incentive for a partnership.  Also, you would not ask your CURRENT private school employer for a recommendation/reference anyway - that's just silly.  Teachers usually get their renewal contracts in private school sometime between February and April so it's a done deal and they either renew or not.  It's not that big of a deal.  [/quote]
