Why the fuck shouldn’t I kill my self?

Seriously, give me a fucking reason.

Idk can someone help me find a teaching job in the north. They won’t call back because my address isn’t there. I applied to hundreds of Chicago and Montana and other place jobs

I’m certified to teach every core high school subject. Every single one. Math, English, history and science. Test me on any of them if you don’t believe me. I’m best at science and math but I’ll do anything anywhere

here’s a kofi I guess

Edit: I’m really touched and honored by the fact that people have sent me money. I don’t know how to be grateful enough. I feel a little bit more hopeful about the world, I’m reeling from the fact that people wanted to help. Thank you.

    Yeah that is a tough one but you can overcome.

    I know when I was looking for a job in a new area I tried to make it clear I was already planning to move there. Certainly one of the costs they’re trying to avoid is moving expenses (or I don’t know if that happens in teaching)

    Trying to remember how my ex got an out of state teaching job but maybe she used my address.

    In the northeast, it’s critical to get qualified first. Your out of state teaching credentials may not be sufficient. Even coming from New York into Massachusetts, my ex was required to take standardized tests to verify. Pick a state and get qualified first, so whatever is needed for your credentials to be valid in that state - that lends some truth to saying “I am already planning to move there”

    Then as someone else says: expand your search. Look at non-public schools and non-teacher positions to get your foot in the door, to actually move somewhere. Familiarity and networking will get you a leg up for next year. My ex taught at a parochial school while trying to validate her out of state credentials. Private schools do not need to meet public school requirements. Of course parochial schools can also be very conservative but maybe other schools. Do you have exposure to Montessori ?

    Now is the time to get your application out there, to flood the market. Schools have already hired for the year but are in a rush to fill the last few positions
