Daryl Williams Jr. I help new teachers make big impact without sacrificing their uniqueness.
My mission is to setup 1,000,000 students with options so that they can live the life, they choose, and not the life they are forced to settle for. I will do that by empowering educators with tools, tips, and resources to maximize student growth.
If, like me, it kills you to see adults suffering through a life they were forced to settle for, join me on this journey to set students up for success.
You are lucky that you got decent pay in your charter school experience. I taught at an independent charter school for seven years. It went from a wonderful job to a terrible job, and the pay was always low. After the second pay cut (through an email), and being mistreated by administration, I gave my notice. I moved to a district job and it was the BEST job I ever had -- at a 44% pay increase -- with a union to protect me. I was at the continuation high school so I got to teach a variety of classes, have smaller classes, and really make a difference. I must agree that there are weird coaches in public school -- and I think a lot of them were people with degrees in education that couldn't make it in the classroom. If I ever thought about going back to a charter school, it would be a dependent charter school where there are some rules. Independent charter schools, in my experience, aren't liked by the district schools and end up with students that the public schools don't want, without the resources to meet their needs. District or charter or private -- I've taught at all three -- it's really about being in a school with good administrators who respect their teachers and their students AND fit your particular teaching style and goals and support you.
Your speech impediment, inability to annunciate or grasp the English language, as an educator, may be deemed detrimental to young children's educational development. Personally, I would prefer my children not be subjected to such a hip dialect.😀
