[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The benefits are better, actually. It’s just that they may cost more. Highly recommend the switch. Changed my life. I also don’t make less than I did in Mcps. You can negotiate, remember. It’s not lockstep the way it is with Mcps. [/quote]

Which benefits and which school? We use my MCPS insurance because the highest Cigna plan covers way more than my spouse’s private school Aetna plan for less $$ annually.

The best part about working in private school will be getting paid year round and not filling out time sheets. You will feel so modern![/quote]

My wife is in year 12 at MCPS, has Masters +60 and earns over $100k.  I don’t think you’re gonna find that in private.[/quote]

Perhaps not, but you can find close. Plus, it’s not always about the money. It’s about working conditions and respect.

I often cried on my way to my old public school job. I hated every moment of it. The atmosphere was toxic, caused by a hostile administration that didn’t hold the students to any standards at all. I lost weight and my hair fell out.

I haven’t felt that way once since transferring to private. I make just a little less, but I feel light years better. I’m much healthier. I can also stay in this field for the rest of my career now instead of leaving it for something else. I’m meant to teach, and now I can.[/quote]

I love this.  Very happy for you! [/quote]
