I have taught for 10 yrs in MO. I took this school yr off to stay home with my infant son. I have great references, experience, and wonderful evaluations.

I went back to school to get my Masters, and it's like a dead weight now b/c no one wants to pay me for that "e...See More

teachermom I totally agree. It rips at your heart. You know you are a great teacher and would be an asset to their district, however it comes down to money. And that gets my goat, because they push and push you to advance your degree and then shut the door in your face once you have gotten it!
