has anyone moved from private to public
by private teacher wanting to go public
Aug 10, 2010
I am just hoping that if i post this then i will hear that people have been able to transition from a private school job to a public school job without subbing or being an aide in a public school. Please don't tell me if you think it is very hard (i already know). Please don't tell me if you or many other people got into the public schools by subbing or as aide (i already know). I don't have many people to talk to about this so i'm asking:

Have you or someone you know been able to go from private school teaching to public school teaching (elementary, I am lower elementary)? Tell me it's possible. Someone tell me that public schools do not look negatively on private school experience.

They even counted my private school years when determining where to place me on the salary scale. Since then, I have seen many new teachers hired in my district who started ...See More

DBI I've visited, studied, attended or observed over 70 schools in the US and now teach in a private setting, and in my considered opinion, I cannot imagine returning to most public schools. I would only teach in a small one, or alternative. Size, management orientation, and NCLB- type pressures have gutted the learning process. Poor discipline and exa...See More
