Re: Charter schools should be your last option

Don't work for a Charter School unless you really must. The pay is
competitive at the entry level but you will quickly fall behind the
traditional publics. No job security and miracles are expected regardless
of the student demographics.
You're expected to work seven days per week, prepare for three different
classes/grade levels, and you are supervised by clueless administrators who
may not have even been teachers themselves in the past.
That's right, some Charter schools have administrators who are not certified
or licensed by the CO Dept of Education, yet they view themselves as "master
teachers".
You basically can get more job satisfaction working in virtually any other
profession.
