Re: Curious about teaching in SC
Posted by dan on 5/18/08

    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.
