I have been a teacher with DC Public Schools for about 6 years. Do
not be discouraged by someone harping over the discipline issues that
they experienced as a teacher within the public school system. As
much as they "hate to say it" and infer that the more upper class
areas lack discipline issues lead me to ...See More

DC's rejection letter

by dcjov

Mar 12, 2007

/blockquote>

I applied to teach middle school math. They originally
said they would accept people with statistics, econ or
engineering degrees. Well, as it turns out that's not
true. So as opposed to being a strong candidate to teach
math, I got my reject letter which was the worst form
letter I've received...the sig...See More

Don't feel bad. I'm headed to New Orleans next week and they
might be worse (if not, they are a close second).

Haaaaaa I wish that I could. Fortunately, my husband has been
accepted into Physical Therapy school here in Washington, DC
and we have a 4 month old baby also. If things were different,
believe me I would be out.

I'm not for sure about DC but most places have a shortage of
science teachers and will give sign-on bonuses. Check out some
of the schools in Northern VA. They also have a website that

Mar 25, 2007

I have been offered a job at DC Prep (a charter school in
DC). The principal only had the best things to say about
this school. Has anyone heard about it. Does anyone have
suggestions on nice places to live outside of DC. I'm
sure I can't afford to live there, but want to live in
very nice respectable co...See More

I am a native Washingtonian, but I haven't taught in the DC schools
yet. I've actually been teaching in Loudoun, but I find it behind
other districts in what it offers both students and teachers. Also,
each school is very different, and west and east Loudoun are very
distinct, sometimes acrimoniously so. Many te...See More
