So your saying that if you break your contract for life threating issues to leave a county in maryland...you will never get the chance to teach again??

Professionalism is needed You need to read your contract and be more forthcoming with your principal than you were in your post. If you have health issues, there is mostly likely a clause in your contract that covers this. If you are leaving for other reasons, you need to let your principal know. Be professional.

PG Schools?

by Demetria

Mar 16, 2009

I am an English high school teacher from another county and will be moving to PG over the summer. We all know of certain schools that teachers leave because there is either a principal who is a mad dictator/micomanager or student behavior that is routinely violent.

BRAC mover I don't honestly know (I didn't even know there was a difference). It's my friend's wife, so a friend of a friend senario, and my sister's mother-in-law, so another second-hand source, so I'm not all too certain on details from either end. I was hoping if I could find some websites (maybe with info on both salary base and actual?) relating to the t...See More
