TX Teaching
By SC

Clip to ScrapBook   
I lived in Texas for 4 years until this summer. I worked in private school, so that's a little different, but here's what I know from friends and attending a Texas university:

- I don't think there's a formal union
in the sense that people discuss on this board. However, you can join organizations (see tcta.org) that will provide legal help and monitor things that a union normally would. TCTA also provides liability insurance. I never really worried about it, and neither do my friends who teach in Texas.

- I prefer private schools, mostly because I don't want to put up with the
behavior issues and standardized test stress.

- Texas public school benefits are good in general, and then each district can add its own things to it. If you work in private school, it's up to each school. Some private schools provide no benefits, while others provide really good ones.
