Moving to teach, should I choose Baton Rouge or New Orleans?

I am a certified teacher in California but the budget cuts have me worried about my stability. I have family in a small parish outside of New Orleans and went to college in Baton Rouge. I've applied online but have discovered that many schools don't even use the Teach Louisiana website and want you to apply to individual schools once you have applied with the parish. I'm still under contract here in California. I want out even if I don't get laid off. Crime rates in New Orleans frighten me, I have a young son but then Baton Rouge may not have as many teaching opportunities. I just don't know. My husband is considering teach for America as well although he is in a different profession. We are applying online but with only minimal success. it seems like we have to be there and I'm afraid to move without a job. Which place do you recommend Baton Rouge or New Orleans and give reasons. Thank you for your help.

find a safer community near your family in New Orleans. If Baton Rouge may not have that many teaching options, then try New Orleans. I think it all depends if you want to be near your family. But, Baton Rouge isnt too far from New Orleans. I dont know. Do whatever you feel. Because, it really does come down to your choice, not Yahoo answers. Good Luck, I hope you make the right choice.
