[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Way less than public school teachers. [/quote]

I wouldn’t go with “way less”, but definitely less.

[b]Still, public school teachers are flocking to the private schools right now. Most people interviewing in the past 4-5 years have been public school teachers, and most of our new hires are people with 10+ years of public school experience. [/b]

The job conditions in the publics are bad enough that many (myself included) figure the pay cut is acceptable if we can actually enjoy work again. [/quote]

This is so not true.  Public school teachers have zero interest in taking a huge pay cut to deal with hordes of helicopter parents.  
I’m a public school teacher and the only teachers I’ve ever heard of that have gone to private schools were the religious ones who wanted to share their faith. [/quote]

I left a public school at the same time as 4 others, all who applied to privates. I now conduct interviews and can see how many public school teachers apply to our school alone. You do realize I see their resumes.

I’m sorry if you don’t like what I have to say. That doesn’t change anything at all.

(And I don’t deal with helicopter parents. I did get a gracious note from a parent today, though. I’m wondering if you know very little about private schools.)

I don't question your experience, but I left a Big Three for MCPS years ago and have never looked back.

Regarding the parent community, it wasn't so much about helicopter parents (although that was indeed an issue), as it was about parents who regarded teachers as if we were the help.[/quote]
