[quote=Anonymous]Also, one way to cope with burnout is to switch schools (that is what I have done anyways). So maybe there were a lot of candidates for the positions she was interested in. And some schools based off of reputation/principal, etc get more interviewees.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS doesn't actually want experienced, expensive teachers. It wants to hire cheap, impressionable young teachers. [/quote]

Really? My friends daughter graduated Magna Cum Laude from college this spring with a degree in elementary education. Excellent reviews from her student teaching. A very smart, well spoken and engaging young lady. I could not believe how many jobs she was turned down for. I thought any elementary school in the county would grab her up quickly but instead she was turned down multiple times. I was shocked. All I could think was- "I guess MCPS doesn't want to hire smart, talented, highly motivated young teachers." Fortunately, she's now been offered a teaching position in the county, but she was just about to start looking at Howard and Fairfax. I was absolutely dumbfounded. [/quote][/quote]
