[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I were hiring at these schools, I would look very carefully at people who seem to be applying just to get their kids a discount on tuition. You really need to be on board with the school’s mission, be the right kind of educator with the right kind of experience, and be a fit for the department you would teach on. You would not be one to leave as soon as your child ages out.

You can’t just be a mom with a degree in English who decided last week to become an English teacher.[/quote]

A lot of teachers are like you described, and sometimes they make good teachers being parents who can relate to kids that age.  Personally, I would wonder about a school where teachers taught and their kids did not go.  I know several teachers who teach at privates who send their kids to public and one is clear she's not a fan of the school environment and wouldn't put her kids in it.  To me that is pretty telling.  I think kids should go for free.[/quote]

It also seems like if you are a teacher who has their own school-aged children- which I'm guessing a good chunk of teachers in this area do- it would be CRAZY not to apply to teach at one of these schools. Okay, maybe not crazy, but there is a ton of motivation if you are already an educator and have kids to have your salary effectively supplemented in this manner... it seems like there would be a ton of applicants for every job.

Meh, if you’re making about a third less than you would as a public school teacher and the remission is 50% or less, you really don’t come out ahead. Especially if you consider you have to uproot your kids from all their friends and a school they may like.[/quote]
