I'm in NYC, I worked at a charter school and then went back to grad school for my second master's to get certified/licensed, hoping to eventually find a job in the DOE. The charter school I was at had issues- high turnover, lower pay, and no union.
Sounds a bit different than GA. Charter schools here typically pay less than standard public schools. But one more point here is that charter schools in GA ARE public schools. They have the same retirement but the major difference is here a charter is either run by the actual system or a non profit organization runs them
Thanks for sharing! I should have mentioned that too. Charter schools are considered public schools and not private schools but charter school teachers are not protected under the same rights as union teachers in the department of education. Independently run but have to answer to New York State and not the City
I loved this video! It was super helpful because I am currently a year 5 teacher with the NYC Doe thinking about switching to charter. It sounds like they both have their pros and cons. Thanks again for the info 💕
This was super helpful. I’ve been working in a charter school for 9 years so my pension wouldn’t even start the 40 year mark after I’ve already taught for almost a decade. I’m tired too lol and I thought DOE would mean less work
Ugh, that was me. I switched at the end of my 9th year. The transition was really hard for me. It's not has difficult now, BUT, I don't think I can teach until I retire which is the whole point of the DOE, (pension is the point) but I might just do another 10 years, retire early, get whatever I can and then go back to school to do something completely different.
Hi! Yes, they do know BUT I do not tell them. They eventually just end up finding it and usually I am silly and playful about it at first. " Thats not me! I have a twin, you didn't know?" Fun banter back and forth, but then I am like, yes, thats me! I love helping new teachers. I get so embarrassed when they mention it lol but I tell them, we can't talk about it during class time so they usually can't bring it up to me bc there never usually time outside of class to talk to them.
Thank you for this…very informative
Love and miss the teacher content!
Does your folder follow you to another state?????

Yeah, that's eventually one of the reasons why I left my school (high turnover and no union)

I think if you're already in the DOE I would NOT switch to charter. You get more out of DOE, especially if you're already in the system.

Thanks! Do your students know about your channel? How did you deal with that?
