Got a call back today about a job I applied for a while ago to be an 8th grade science teacher (but, I may have to teach math instead, because theyre low on math teachers).

Its a charter school with a lot of silly rules and structures I dont like or agree with (both for the students and for the staff), but its also a job that pays more than my last one.

I start in august!

Salary surprises me but charter schools are notoriously difficult to work for so I wish you luck.

This one definitely is. The assistant principal was super upfront with me about this. They have a year to year retention rate of 30% for teachers, and they are super strict about following all their rules. She let me sit in on a class and their day is highly structured. Any deviation from the exact plan admin sets is grounds for reprimand.

Oh good god you're going to explode.
Stay sane and look for another job by the end of the school year.

Have fun with all the IEP meetings on top of all the usual charter school bullshit

30% retention rate isnt good
