Dependents
Posted: Sun Aug 22, 2010 1:37 pm
I have a question. I keep reading about how schools want to hire teaching couples, and that single parents and even single teachers are at a disadvantage. I am married to a non-teaching spouse and we might have a baby in the near future. So that would be me and 2 dependants. How bad is that going to hurt my prospects? I know there are schools out there who would still be open to that senario, but will they be the bottom of the heap? I teach secondary social studies and by the time I apply I will have had 7 years teaching experience and a Masters degree. What does everyone think about my chances with this situation? Thank you.
