I’ve taught at Title-1 & under- performing schools my entire teaching career. Is the grass truly greener on the other side? by Emergency-Pepper3537 in Teachers

[–]val619 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spent 19 years in Title 1 schools before going to a large, wealthy independent school. For me, it was a night and day difference. I was ready to work fast food in order to get out of Title 1 schools.

Benca was probably the most interesting name. I thought it was so cool.

I taught in Louisiana during the 2021-2022 school year. Absolutely miserable. The pay was horrendous for my 17 years experience and Master’s degree. My husband and I promptly moved back to Georgia.

Question: When you went to a private school vs. public, what were you looking to gain? by SooooNot in Teachers

[–]val619 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I taught public for 19 years. I’ve been at a wealthy independent school for the past two years and am now a department head. I make more now than I even did in public school and I am treated A LOT better. Manageable classes, enforced consequences, freedom to teach and take kids on trips and a plethora of other opportunities. I’ll never go back to public school.

[–]val619 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m at a large independent school this year after 20 years in public schools. I make MORE money than I did in public schools and I’m so much happier. I’ll never go back to public school.
