Been trying that for eight years. Between me being unable to confirm that I'm getting good recommendations due to some truly idiotic district policies, and a medical condition that limits my work week and makes me functionally unhireable in any other field, I'm kinda stuck.
So let me leave you with this gem:
School administrators, at least in Texas, don't want success. They want failure, because it allows them to qualify for more grant money. Successful schools have to do an obscene amount of fundraising to get the same level of funding as a failing school does from grants.
Oh, and we also don't have functional unions. The state constitution prohibits teachers unions from collective negotiation of any sort. We *have* to go with what the school district administrators deign to give us, because we don't have a choice. They can literally fire us for no reason at all.
Shouldn't be a surprise that Texas is somewhere around 51st in the US when it comes to education.
