Fuck Facebook. Can’t wait til that cesspool dies. (No offense to you, just hate how it’s become a ghastly soup of townie malcontent)

I would second Mt. Pierce. I led an outdoor club trip with high schoolers up there and it was manageable as long as you are well prepared. I suppose that’s all relative… but if you have to ask what that means then you aren’t ready…

What snow?

Don’t sell yourself short. As of a couple of months ago there were several hundred teaching positions available in Boston Public Schools, one of the highest paying in the state. There is a massive teacher shortage everywhere. You have some capital to work with. Don’t take the easy way out. The lowest paying charter schools will offer anyone a job… so will a lot of school districts that really need someone, especially mid year. Just keep looking. You will find a district within a 45 minute drive that needs you.

Don’t work for a Commonwealth Charter school. Longer hours, less pay, more rules, more strict, no union to back you up. Fuck commonwealth charter schools. I’ve had many friends and students who’ve had negative experiences as teachers and students. They are run like a corporation and don’t care about you. Work for a district with a union. You will be protected and treated better.
