I had a friend when I lived in northern Indiana who returned
to school to get her math education degree so she could teach
math at the high school level. She found out that she was
looked over for most positions in that area because they also
wanted someone to coach a sport as well as teach math. She
lacked the coaching expertise. When I think about my own
years in Indiana high school, most of the men I had for math
were either a football or basketball coach. Have you
considered that THAT might be an underlining reason you have
not found that math job? Just a thought. Oh, that friend got
a job in something totally different then teaching and stayed
with that job instead. Good Luck.
