I'm currently teaching overseas for the Dept. of Defense
Dependent Schools and have been for 11 yrs. w/ 10 years
former stateside experience. The salary is terrific, duty
free lunches and planning periods are a norm. I am
considering one day returning to teach in the US, but
skeptical about issues such as low salaries and how my
quality of life will change. Concerned about NCLB and the
pressure put on teachers, and whether or not classroom
teachers feel respected as professionals. We are not under
NCLB, but have high standardarized test scores across the
board. I love my working conditions, students etc, but
sometimes long to return to the "real world". Any advice
or thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Rico but I was a brand new teacher so of course I didn't get
the job. It's a simple process, lots of paperwork but nothing
out of this world.

Tammy I am shocked to see how many teachers HATE their job here in SC. Makes sense when I see how some teachers treat their kids now.
