From your response, I'm assuming you teach in an urban area. I saw that you live in Newark, do you teach there? The opening that is my possibility is in Paterson, so it may be the same type of thing, just younger students (4th grade ( ... )

What you have described in a "nutshell" is exactly what I'd like to do. Your clients seem to have many of the same needs as my current students.

I wonder if I would go back to teaching after I finished my degree. A part of me thinks that I would. I do not know if I would go back to the comprehensive schools of Newark though. Instead I think I would go to a charter school where it's a given that my colleagues, administration and family are all collaborating towards student success.

That way, as a teacher, during class time...all I have to do is teach my well prepared lesson to open and willing students. Their needs have been tended to, and I am putting finishing touches helping to make sure they have as many options in life as possible.

Lol...I guess I could also ...just do that now. I declined a job as a reading teacher, refuse to interview for teaching positions even within the charters.
I'll be back. I know I will.
