Plain City I have friends that live in Plain City and love their school and life there as well. They say it is worth the drive as it is not much further than Dublin (where they once were).

On the right are teacher contracts in OH. It is a large document, make sure you are on a high speed computer.

by Unsure

Jun 25, 2009

I recently lost my 4 year teaching position in an Ohio suburb due to a failed levy and layoffs. My question now is, if I am not fortunate enough to land another position, do I choose to sub in a potential district or do I apply for a charter school where I will most likely get hired? I can afford to sub for one year but that's it. I would miss not ...See More

Jennifer Which charter schools do you recomend working at? Most of the ones I have looked at pay nothing. The school districts where I live start teachers off at 40,000. Does your school pay that? Otherwise, I think I'll substitute and get my name in where they pay well. Thanks!

Sub Tough call. You originally posted a while ago. Have you heard anything as of yet?

I long-term subbed this past spring after I finished student teaching in the winter. On one hand, I might worry for you that you will be unhappy going from a situation where you are THE teacher to a "stand-in" who must follow rules, lesson plans and other ac...See More
