[quote=Anonymous]OP, for what it's worth, I was a lot happier teaching in much smaller public systems in New York and Connecticut before we relocated to the DC Metro Area.  While these huge county-based systems offer a lot of stability for teachers (in that they can absorb budget loss and redistribute staff), they feel like gigantic bureaucracies.

I think you need to ask yourself what your priorities are.  Right now, my priorities involve earning as much as I can to get myself to a place where I can work part-time as an adjunct.  Right now with two young kids, that isn't in the cards for me.

If you're well enough off financially that you can take a plunge into something you'll most likely like better but won't offer you as much stability, then go for it.  If not, hang on until you can, because the MCPS gig is a good one, even if it has some drawback.

I figure the only people making comments about how stagnant we are are people who cannot even fathom earning as little as we earn as public school teachers.  They simply don't have the same perspective.  [/quote]
