I am a HS math teacher and spend 70% of my time to enforce
discipline in my 95% blacks school. Not like anything is
wrong being black. The principle, who is also black, gives
me low evaluations so I stay and don't leave, He almost
laughed in my face when I said I’d not come back next year.
I am single, so nothing holds me in US.
Any advice how to get a job with the Dept. of Defense
Dependent Schools?
Thank you.
