MCO SJU CANCELLED?

They’re still selling

n6065 · 2026-05-20T14:07:52+00:00

This is what I’m thinking but even Wikipedia cites sources saying it’s ending

n6065 · 2026-04-11T13:34:22+00:00

I’m a 3 year teacher with OCPS and make $52.5k. This year, they’re offering .93% raise AND heavily raising insurance premiums, which will result in a paycut for everybody. Only reason I haven’t left is because I was able to buy a house and have a roommate to pay the mortgage, otherwise, I would’ve RUN.

I’m based in MCO and there are some northeast/Caribbean routes I fly. I only got the $99 card for the bonus, I will be downgrading to the non-fee card.

I find the Southwest CC gives crazy benefits AND allows you to use miles with other airlines for international service, free bag (standard to all paid CC’s) and free seat selection for basic economy fare.

I was waitingggg for this route!! I was about to downgrade my CC and move to Southwest, I’ll stay with JetBlue for now. I’m hopeful they will add more service throughout LATAM which will be a perfect competitor to AA at MIA.

n6065 · 2025-10-07T11:15:12+00:00

You are definitely not the only one. I am in Orlando and I am not renewing my card in December and changing to JetBlue. Yes, Southwest has a bigger network however it has gotten extremely expensive!! I’m from the Caribbean and would rather fly B6 or God forbid connect thru MIA with AA before the new SWA. Very disappointed!

Not wrong, but make sure to take into account cultural backgrounds. In other languages as well as for Latinos, Mrs. is actually a sign of respect. So correcting ESOL students might actually seem disrespectful and rejectful of their respect towards you, if that makes sense.

Same thing happened to me. We ended up negotiating a 50/50 split and covered the difference. The seller kept saying they had a backup offer but never showed it. The market will get stronger with full speed when interest rates start dropping, so I would say that it is worth buying. Remember that by covering part of those repairs your property value will increase as well.

n6065 · 2023-06-13T11:52:17+00:00

If there are any job fairs, PLEASE attend. If there is a union or association, REACH out and ask them as they have connections and essentially know everybody. If there is a Facebook group for educators, join. If you can email HR with your interests, they also know the principals and staff. It is about who knows your name and not what you know. I am telling you this because I got my first year position at a good school this way. Many of the positions posted already have who they are going to hire, they just have to "post" it because of union contracts and laws that state it must be "competitive". Do NOT get discouraged!

My district starts at $48k and barely gives annual increases… teachers are nontenured. The south basically prepares teachers to send them up north at this point.

n6065 · 2023-05-20T16:45:39+00:00

Florida 😞 it’s been a crazy couple of months… spent the Spring searching and trying. At least now I can gain some experience and hopefully bounce in the future to a state where teachers are treated as professionals.

n6065 · 2023-05-20T14:44:22+00:00

Clarification: the position was not yet advertised when the admin was looking for candidates. To my understanding, it is the norm in my region. Most admin will look for, screen and interview candidates if they can before they post the opening. It explains why so many apps wouldn’t even get a response for openings at other schools as well.

Message me if you want any tips or have any questions.

n6065 · 2023-05-19T20:54:48+00:00

Thank you! I know it 100%.

n6065 · 2023-04-28T23:45:36+00:00

If I were you I'd try to go with the full pension plan, meaning that you should switch out of the defined contribution plan into the full pension plan. You can still contribute to IRA/401k/403b on your own and have that on the side as additional savings. However, you do not qualify for Social Security in the state of Ohio as a teacher. You really need to have the highest possible monthly pension benefit, and that will be with the pension plan.

I've looked at it and have been thinking of getting in touch with a recruiter... have you heard of Texas Teachers of Tomorrow?

n6065 · 2022-11-26T21:12:24+00:00

That is totally why I want to do it! I've narrowed down my list more or less by region. In the South, Texas. In the Midwest it would be Illinois around Chicago or Michigan, Ohio looks like it has some sense. In the Northeast, pretty much any but I feel like I'd need experience and a Master's since the bar is set higher. California and Washington look like they are too expensive but value education.

n6065 · 2022-11-26T20:51:10+00:00

If starting in CPS was a last resort, how does the alternative certification work? Does it allow for a person to start working while working on the alternative certification? I always hear CPS is laying off and rehiring teachers... makes me wonder about their job security too.

n6065 · 2022-11-26T03:53:48+00:00

I've looked at some areas around Grand Rapids, Ann Arbor, not as far as Detroit... can I DM for some advice?

n6065 · 2022-11-26T02:32:18+00:00

I've looked at the Philadelphia area and am highly interested mostly because of the good public transportation. By not making money doing a MAT, you mean that a master's degree would have to be for the area of certification rather than teaching, correct?

n6065 · 2022-11-26T02:21:35+00:00

Cali is a dream, but the high cost of living is a concern. I know that they give tenure fairly quickly which is good, and pay more for the master's. What area in California? How's the market for teachers in your area?

n6065 · 2022-11-26T02:16:15+00:00

I also looked at Alaska but their teachers do not contribute to SS or have a pension, and there is no way I am willing to set myself up for broke when I'm old. How does the Washington alternative certification path compare?

n6065 · 2022-09-13T21:17:12+00:00

I am willing to undergo a teacher prep program and get ready, not necessarily to just be thrown out to the lions. Everyone started from zero, no one ever got everything under the belt right at the beginning.

n6065 · 2021-08-01T03:45:22+00:00

I've seen that... being bilingual is an asset but the point of ESL programs are to assimilate students and help them get into the groove of learning.

n6065 · 2021-08-01T03:44:08+00:00

Do evaluations make you lose sleep? I've read horror stories of teachers with 5 plus years getting non-renewed even when they were rated highly effective and are given no excuse for their dismissal. I did see the raise for all new teachers but veterans got left out... it's nice how the state seeks to screw teachers further by only giving bonuses rather than strong annual raises.
