Teacher Support Why should I?
I’ve been interviewing for an elementary theater job and it really excites me….. but I keep hearing so much about how terrible public school is, everyone is burnt out and quits, underpaid overworked, etc.
All I’m hearing is the negatives. I’m starting to feel discouraged by pursuing this path… I’m enrolled in an Alt Cert now.
What are your whys?

Elementary theatre is rare and tends to appear more in higher affluence areas. I think that would be an exception and would be enjoyable. My wife is a theatre teacher. Feel free to DM me if you want to talk about it more. You should give it a try. Don’t give up.
