Public vs. Private School
By Kate

Clip to ScrapBook   
I teach in a private schoool. In MA the pay is, about, 62% of the public school's salary. Our school faces the same challenges as public schools. Large class size (26 in Kindergarten) and budget constraints (old textbooks, classroom materials, limited computer access, no retirement, and limited professional development opportunities).
There is definately a sense of community, supportive and dedicated staff, and great parents! It is a difficult decision, mine came down to available positions. I hope to find a public school teaching position soon.
