Nevada Teachers Chatboard

Doc You don't help anyone on this board and just discourage anyone with a question. Your boilerplate answer is: "Teaching is terrible!" "Nevada is terrible!" "Don't bother looking for a job, you'll never get one!" "If you get one, you'll be fired soon!"

Your boilerplate answer is: "Teaching is terrible!" "Nevada is terrible!" "Don't bother looking for a job, you'll never get one!" "If you get one, you'll be fired soon!"

You have never offered anyone a constructive piece of advice on this board other than to give up all hope. I work as a teacher in Nevada TODAY, not six years ago, and will be an administrator next year. People are making productive careers in education in Nevada. I work with a lot of them and I am one of them. I know, you think the boogey man will get me and everyone else..., right. If the OP wants to build a career here, she has the opportunity.

I'm sorry it didn't work out for you, but you are not everyone. In fact, you are actually in a small minority. Most people who get hired by CCSD and WCSD, don't get fired. In fact, a majority will stay long enough to earn a pension. Not exactly a revolving door. STOP trying to drag everyone down. Some of us... MOST of us are doing just fine, and yeah, we will need to hire new teachers next year in this state. There is opportunity here, despite what you say.
