I did not ask to review this or any other county's school system. This is not the place or time to do so. I wonder why Indeed.com insists I review this particular former employer and gives me no choice. It is impossible to do this without reviewing U.S. public education as a whole.

A teacher's job has always been hard, but nowadays we are reaching a breaking point. Ever more demands are placed on teachers. Ever less assistance is given to them. Overworked parents are unable to raise their children to make them school ready, and curricula don't allow teachers to fill the gap because the marching orders out of Washington and private think tanks are to prepare for the all-important standardized tests. One does what one can. I did what I could. But I also realized that even the best does little good in our broken schools of today.

___A Typical Day at Work___
The typical day involves delivering five stage performances a day to one's students and put up with much school resistance and unruliness from many of those same students while trying to do what is best for them and follow school rules and satisfy parents, all at the same time. In the afternoon, I would tutor individual students, write referrals, communicate with parents, prepare materials for the next day, plan the next day's lessons, and grade if any time remained. Planning, making materials, and grading typically extended into the late night and throughout the whole weekend.
   As a teacher, you daily manage up to 150 teenagers, their behavior, their work, their learning. You also juggle administrators, parents, ancillary paper work, prepping, and grading.


___What I Learned___
I certainly learned a lot... about human diversity, about adversity.

___Management___
School administrators exist to save their own job, often at the expense of teachers and students. Ask any teacher.

___Co-Workers___
Fellow teachers can be helpful, but all are overworked and stressed.

___The Hardest Part___
The hardest part is the futility, the tragic stories of many students, and knowing we could do so much better as teachers but the institution does not permit it.

___The Most Enjoyable Part___
The most enjoyable part of the job are the students, even as they sometimes try to drive you crazy. A teacher's job is much like a parent's job. The kids may drive you bonkers, but you love them. You understand their human faults, their growing pangs, and you help where you can. You enjoy the occasional spark of curiosity, the flame of life which still shines brightly in some, the authenticity and freshness of students (when they don't chose to dissemble before the distrusted adults), and those moments when you can help one of them out of trouble or into achievement. It is always good to see the potential and dreams in people, and better yet to see some of them realized. When the students have fun, you can be happy alongside them.

I enjoyed my position as Administrative Assistant at Montgomery & Company, CPAs. If I hadn't gotten married in May of 2016 and moved to Charleston, I would have continued my job there! The office was friendly, and because it was a private accounting firm, I was able to work closely with the office manager. She and I got along well, and I often would offer to initiate new projects or help her with tasks. Sometimes it got stressful (especially during tax season), but I was able to stay calm the majority of the time. In fact, multi-tasking and working with clients became more and more enjoyable to me and I would look forward to being in that busy type of position again.

A typical day at work is establishing a rapport with client in order to gain their trust and applying course study in session.What  I learned is how to  listen attentively  and process information being reported to meet the client need or needs. The co-workers were  friendly, sociable, very helpful. The hardest part of the job was saying good-bye to everyone when Internship ended . The most enjoyable part of the job was getting know the clients  and them getting to know me.

Working every day to make a difference.Team work means every thing when your working with people. Communicating with my superior is at the top of my list.Not being able to answer every customer request but no dealt making sure they issues will be handled promptly. When all the answers the customer has can be performed with knowledge and expertise.

It could be a great place if they paid contractors well and offered benefits. Plus it all about the clicks and who you Know. Worked and an average of 9 - 10 hours per day doing meetings, lesson plans grading papers, meeting with parents and students. Only was paid for a maximum of 7 hours, with no benefits. We had the same expectation of work requirements as a certified teacher who got better pay and benefits.

My typical day was very busy.  My co-workers were wonderful to work with and very helpful.  The hardest part of my job was dealing with co-workers that allowed their outside issues come into play with their work day.  Which made it very hard to deal with their disposition.

Outstanding job , on time with everything. Love their employees great customer service. Love helping the public. Amazing job to help that work with you and around your schedule
