The very nice person interviewing me told me he usually likes hiring young teachers because they are more mailable and can stay late. I mentioned, they are also cheaper, and he smiled. He also told me he was a TFA graduate 10 years ago. After being told how much would be expected and how hard they work there I told him my only concern was, can I trust the principal. A report from a fellow ATR who spent a week in the school, looks like it would not be for me. What is happening to principals these days?<br /><br />Almost every school I have been in have very young teaching staffs. Sometimes it is difficult to tell the difference between the teachers and the students.Tom Forbeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04810111429641235805noreply@blogger.com
