I have recently graduated with a BA in elementary education. Bad part is, I am having a heck of a time trying to find a job. I have not had a single public school district contact me for an interview. Do public schools really wait until right before school starts to interview/hire new teachers? (I heard this somewhere and find it hard to believe)
Second question- I have an interview with a charter school next week. I have heard bad things about working at a charter school. Anyone a charter school teacher with information to share? Also, is it true that if you decide to teach at a public school in the future, that your experience at a charter school don't count (i.e. start at the bottom of the payscale again)?
Any help would be much appreciated!
