I've had the chance to read about the bad bureaucracy in
DCPS, but I'm just wondering if there are any good
experiences? Any good parts of town to teach in? Any
schools that have a good reputation?

Also, is DCPS the only district in DC? I plan on applying
for the next school year because I'm sick of being
unemployed int he midwest. I know some of the negatives
already. The district is innercity, but its not like the
suburbs are knocking down my door. The Cost of Living's
high, but the COL is high anywhere when you're unemployed
and not making any money. I'm basically hoping theres some
positives to teaching in DC...

Doesn't say to much for schools in Bush's backyard! So much for
his NCLB.

I worked for DC public schools for one year. It was a nightmare. I ought to
be getting help for post traumatic stress disorder. I am not kidding. Now, I
work in Arlington, VA and it is so different. I have been here for three
years and I think daily how lucky I am to not be working in DC any more.

I wanted...See More
