13 years in a private school after 12 in public settings. Pay is a little lower, but class sizes are much smaller, a only need to buy supplies if I want to, and parents are far more responsive. I also have more input in terms of curriculum. Added bonus - my school offers 80% tuition remission, so both of my daughters have had opportunities I couldn’t have provided in the past.

I am starting work in private school in the fall after years in the public schools. Any tips?

One main diff tween the two is private/Charter schools have better parent participation than their public counterpart!
Use that to your advantage by teaming with them to hold kids accountable! Use to improve academic performance, address behavior concerns or a phone call or note telling them something good bout their lil kiddo😳your class will soon be hummin along!

I’ve been struggling with anxiety for a while. It’s not crippling but it does take a huge toll on my mental health. I’ve tried Zoloft but I feel it makes me apathetic and therefore decreases my work ethic. Does anyone have any medication recommendations or general advice for dealing with anxiety with a high-stress job? (Obv will consult my doctor too.)

I interviewed for a job at a new company, and the role would be a huge pivot for me. When asked, I gave the absolute minimum I would be willing to accept (my current salary) since I have no experience in the area. The company came back and offered an interview for a different role, much closer to the job I currently do. Is there any way to salvage the salary negotiation if I’ve already given them a low number for the original job I applied for? I’d like to negotiate a raise if I’m not pivoting

So, when parents only care about grades, your thoughts on grades for self esteem verses earning for character and integrity?

So the public unions have tried to divert funds for new students, wishing to attend private schools in Calif... any other states preventing school choice?

How have you approached your administration about pay when your pay is lower then the public schools in the area?

Catholic school parent expect grade changes two days before grades close- student didn’t want assistance during the trimester and parents never reached out until now- how have you all seen that handled?
