What would you do about this job?
I'm sorry this is so long, but I am really confused and need some guidance.
I had signed on to do a looping 1st through 2nd grade class at the school where I currently work. I have taught the first graders and am slated to have the same students again starting in August for 2nd grade. However, as the school systems in NC CRASH due to the government and their outrageous cuts I am discouraged and disheartened in my job. Some other things have also happened at work which have me questioning the reason I am there.
An opening has come at the local private Christian school where my daughter will be starting preschool in August. I am struggling as to whether or not I should apply for the job. I would love to work in a private school setting and get away from all of the problems that the state is having, however, I am worried about leaving my students who I have had for a year and told I them and their parents I would be with them again next year. However, there are NEVER openings for the private school.
Also- my husband is having trouble finding a job in the area where we currently live and we are looking at relocating next year. If I would only be at the private school for 1 year I don't think it will be worth it.
What would you do? Would you apply for the job at the Christian school? OR would you just wait and see what happens with your husband?

If it was me I would be a woman of my word and stay. you told their parents you wouldn't leave, your word is more important than any problem, job, or comfort. doing what is right is more important, and you gave them your word, the right thing to do is keep it and stay there.
the job at the Christian school looks inviting because you only see things from the outside, things may be worse over there but you don't know it until you are a part of it. to go somewhere just to "get away from all the problems" never solves anything. plus, it makes you a weaker person. weather it out, keep your word, finish what you started, you will be a stronger better woman at the end.

Hmm, I was going to say to follow your gut and go to the private school until you mentioned your husband. Public schools pay more than private schools, I believe, so that may be rough, and you should probably do the most economical thing.

In these difficult economic times every job is a God send. I would go for the Christian school.
