I echo the frustration. I have started to look for a job for
next school year and have a M.Ed from the University of
Florida, 3 years out-of-state teaching experience (all three
years I sponsored NHD and my students were STATE CHAMPS all
three years), have a ton of continuing ed under my belt
etc...and I can't even get an interview at some schools here.
When I do get an interview they are more interested in whether
I can coach than whether I am a great social studies teacher -
a very sorry thing to say about the education of the area.

The competition seems to be in hiring the best coach (and
hopefully and okay teacher - vs. a great teacher).
