I teach first grade at a charter/private school here in Ohio. I was offered my parapro job back at a public school for the fall of 2009, they got some funding back I guess.

I was offered my parapro job back at a public school for the fall of 2009, they got some funding back I guess. The school we work in is a constant battle where fear and intimidation is an everyday thing...Many of us are constantly threatened to be fired or written up (like they're trying to build a case against us if they ever were to fire you) for everything...most of which has nothing to do with the actual job of teaching!
I am afraid to buy a home since you never know if you're going to get fired or not! The staff of about 40 has about 35 people who are not happy, and are looking everyday for something else. We try our best to support each other.
I am looking for advice on whether to take my old job back even though I will make very little money and lose my benefits, which I am very healty and can able to pay for them for a while on my own. I fear that if the administration fires at will, which they will just to prove a point, then I will have no job, while if I take my para job back I will have a job, make hardly any money but at least be safe and have some income and still be in the teaching field.
I won't have this back up job forever so I just needed someone else's thoughts...I was told that sometimes its better to take a job that may be lower on the food chain, if it will take you places in the end. I find it hard to be a successful teacher at this school I am at now, with the constant intimidation and threats. Any thoughts or has anyone been in this situation before??? I would appreciate any advice. :o)
Hello!
I wanted to take a moment and let you know about a great opportunity for teachers of English Language Arts.

I wanted to take a moment and let you know about a great opportunity for teachers of English Language Arts. OCTELA (the Ohio Council of Teachers of English Language Arts—our state’s “version” of NCTE) will be hosting its annual conference on March 27th and 28th in Columbus. The conference’s theme is “Building Bridges: Connecting Ideas and Methods” and has something for every ELA educator and district. Attending will be a great investment—as you will come away with a wealth of information.
I know that professional development money is tight right now, but this year’s conference is going to be GREAT. I promise. I have listed a few of each day’s offerings/breakout sessions at the end of this post. Please take a moment and read through them. More information can be found at [link removed]
If you feel this conference is not for your you, please spread the word to other English Language Arts teachers. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Thanks,
Karla Bisig OCTELA President Elect Karla.[email removed]

I once had a life contract in Ohio, then moved away for work related reasons with a family member. I might be coming back to Ohio now, and had though I heard since I once had a life contract, I am eligible to get a 3 year contract when I return to a school in Ohio. Does anyone know if there is truth to this?
