My pay has been frozen for a few years. Do I stick it out? I feel like our school is stuck back in time.

Definitely do what is best financially for you. Your expenses don't stay frozen. What language do you teach? I teach Spanish.

When I started teaching at the school I am now, the pay was frozen for 7 years. It ended when I got there. I would look elsewhere.

Well if you feel you are no where near settling a contract then I would start looking but you will lose tenure... bummer! But if you stay and you do settle will you you get retro ?

What's a rule you are expected to enforce that you strongly disagree with or are indifferent to. Do you enforce it or take the risk? I move around as a tutor and am currently working with a school that has a ridiculously strict formal address policy. One of my second graders refers to me as "Miss Tutoring (my first name)" - it's about the cutest thing ever and doesn't bother me one bit. We are moderated sometimes and I'm more worried about her getting in trouble than me for not abiding.
