[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Partner teaches at a private in VA. She has her Masters and makes just over $62k. Left public school teaching for private after a bad year made her question changing careers. Therapist helped her realize she wasn’t disenchanted with teaching or the kids but with the parents. She loves teaching at the private!  No more teaching to the test, more freedoms with her curriculum, more Admin support, less having to dip into her own $$$ to cover for supplies, and best of all in her eyes is having easier parents to deal with.

She has a 401k with 7% match, health and dental insurance but no vision insurance.  She pays around $200/month out of her pay for the insurance.

Her least favorite aspect is the admin is even more strict with time off. Parents don’t like to pay for their kids to be educated by subs and stand-ins too many times per year. [/quote]

I've never heard anyone say that private school parents are easier to deal with than public school parents. It's common for public school teachers to say that in low income schools you have worse behaved kids, but more easy going parents, in high SES publics you have well behaved students but nightmare parents!
