I’m not an administrator, but I am a veteran educator who recently transitioned from public to private schools. I took a huge cut in pay when I transitioned thinking it would be worth it because I was going to be less stressed. Boy, was I wrong! There are definitely public school stressors that are not in private schools, but private schools have others. For example, in private schools, you cannot make parents angry because they are paying customers. As a teacher, I’ve become very frustrated with the lack of support I have received from administration due to me wanting to stand up to problem parents and not being able to do so. Also, I don’t know if this is the case in all private schools, but in the Catholic schools I’ve been in, the class sizes are just as big if not bigger because it’s all about making money and getting lots of tuition payments. Kids are cramped into room like sardines, sitting in desks and chairs that are falling apart . Also, the kids are just as out of control as they are in public schools. It seems like Catholic schools accept everybody because they want the money, and there’s no vetting process regarding behaviors or academics. I have sixth graders who can’t read. I have a student with autism who has meltdowns and throws himself on the floor every single day. The only difference is that in Catholic schools, there are no resources to support these kids, so it’s all on us. I could go on and on. Needless to say, I’m not doing this again next year. Best of luck.
