School

How secure is teaching jobs in a private school? Thanks.

The economy drives the train on whether any position is secure or not. I just read where a prominent private school in London is closing its doors after being open for 137 years. There is no fail safe determination on whether you will survive as a teacher in a private school, but certainly the track record of a school should be taken into consideration. The local economic situation, student enrollment, how well you are respected by the school and parents of students, and other factors will all have a bearing on your "security" in a private school as a teacher. Also consider that you likely don’t have credentials, or a teacher certificate (licensure), otherwise you would likely be teaching in a more secure but not totally secure public school. Good luck and I hope this has helped you to make a sound decision on your future and your career.

We are moving to Petaluma soon and are trying to figure out what the best school to send our two children (going into grades 2 and 5) to is. We have been in a private school, but want to change to public. Waldorf is not for us. We want a school that is academic and has art, music, and advanced programs. We want a community school where parents are involved and the school must have good leadership. Any help at all would be much appreciated. We would also consider moving to sebastopol or west santa rosa. Thank you so much!

Good luck!

I live in very close proximity to both Perry Elementary and Grover Cleveland Elementary. What determines what school my kids should go to or do I get to pick? Is there some kind of area map that determines this? I can’t seem to find any information online.

where does the neighborhood kids go?

of course when i was a kid i went to irving – kids one block east went to columbus 2 blocks south went to Perry so maybe your best bet is to either call the school district or call or stop at one of the schools and ask them which school you should register at.

I want to know how to start a private school program for kids k-6. Thank you.

I am 14 in 8th grade preparing to talk to my whole youth group 6-8th grade about making good, Godly choices this coming school year. I am a little stuck right now. Any help would be really appreciated and will not only help me, but my fellow middle schoolers i will be speaking to.

Tell them about how special and unique they are and that all their choices would lead to success in life, they need to try to follow their dreams as much as possible. If they are involved with sporting activities, encourage them to continue. Also make sure that they always do have a choice, making the right choice is difficult but they need to learn to make good ones by first of all following instinct and rules. Using Positive energy and following your conscience is also very helpful in making good decisions.

I know that some public schools have school uniforms and others don’t, but do all people that go to private schools wear school uniforms?

Not at all.

I am a junior in inglewood high school and my neighborhood is considered rather "ghetto" so to speak, but i have always had higher than a 3.5 GPA, but i have always wondered if my chances of getting into a university(such as Berkeley or Brown) are greatly different compared to let’s say a student with the same grades from Beverly Hills or Malibu and such.

it’s not a big deal, the most important things are your GPA, test scores, activities, and volunteer work. it really doesn’t matter where you come from, don’t worry!

Was middle school a good expirience for you? It was really cool for me. What did you like the most about it? What are some tips that you give to kids about it? If you ask, i’ll share mine. just wondering.

I’m just leaving middle school this year so i’m in th 8th grade. I loved middle school, i had awesome teachers, awesome classes and great friends. I’m kinda sad to be leaving. But happy because i’m starting a whole new year at a new school, A high school!

I need a wheelchair that is suitable for someone who will be travelling round in a secondary school.
Would manual be best? Or electric?
I’m really not sure, but it would be helpful if you could give me some advie?
Has anyone here disabled or know someone who is?
Please help.
Many Thanks,

Okay I’m going to a boarding school next year. And I want to seem really interested and really into he school and I need to ask some questions about the school so I won’t be rude. I can’t exactly come up with any questions, so I’m hoping you can help me come up with some good questions to ask, so they will like me and I will get into the school.

May I ask what school? Most U.S. boarding schools don’t make admissions decisions until March 10, so I was just wondering how you could be absolutely sure.

Be yourself when talking, they’ll probably ask you more questions than you’ll need to ask them. But, given the chance, ask if the things you are passionate about are available to you at the school, what the general morale is of the students, what you do for fun, how many day vs. boarding students, what foreign languages they offer, etc.

Hope I helped!
