    Re: I can't find a teaching job!!!!!!!!!!
    Posted by from TN, live in CT now and have the same problem... on 10/02/08

    I can't believe TN is having the same problem. We were also
    told of all these supposed shortages in CT-- not in my part of
    the state! I even have some experience, and am back subbing
    again. With all the loans I took out to go back to school to
    get certified and get a master's, it is very distressing.

    I also have come to realize it has a lot do with who you know.
    It is frustrating. I guess we just have to keep looking and
    trying, and that gets hard after a while, I am also finding.

    I keep hearing NC needs teachers. Are you near that part of
    the state? Sorry, I am terrible with localized geography. I
    grew up in Memphis and I think you are pretty far from my part
    of the state. You could always go teach there; but I admit
    that is something I could never, ever do.

    Good luck to you. I keep telling myself someone has to quit,
    get pregnant, transfer... hopefully I will be at the right
    place at the right time to get that job.

    Also-- have you looked into private school?
    best,
