RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

What was the dream job?
A good teaching position.
Teaching is really really hard right now. I'm seeing so many new teachers who are leaving positions a few weeks in. If you're really determined that it's what you want, check back in a month or try a different district. Every district around me has tons of openings. Also, if a district doesn't want you because of that, it wouldn't be a good place to work. It wouldn't be supportive of you or your kids and seeing kids be treated that way would be more soul crushing than not getting the job. Keep looking for the right fit.
I live in oklabaom. Every job might as well have a sign that says “tranny removeds need not apply.” As well as every other job lollllllll
There are plenty of places that would love to have you as a teacher, are you able to move? It seems like a waste of your skills to spend it on a place that hates you for being who you are. Could move to another state or even another country, there are plenty of visa programs for teachers right now.
I want to move. I have applied for jobs in other states. They do not call back because my address is here. I need help getting a teaching job in those other places. I will work anywhere. I can teach math and science. I am very good at it. I have raised a child’s act 7 points before. I just need help getting to a safe place. I have no help. I have no money or resources.

You can get up to $10,000 to relocate here. Its not much and you wont make a ton but its a nice place to live.
