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.

Because that's exactly what the bigots want. There is nothing wrong with you, there never was, there is everything wrong with those sick freaks. And I am sure you have a lot to contribute to the world. Always be you, and the rest of the world can fuck off.
Don't apply to red states, especially Montana. Try Washington State, Oregon, California, Minnesota, even New Mexico if you want a smaller place to be. Your other options are the North East.
Sometimes life is just shit. Admit you are having a bad day, and you will be surprised how that acknowledgement can actually help. Tomorrow is a new start. And I do realize that no advice, no matter how well intentioned feels like it's ever going to help. But a good rest and fresh perspective can be a life changer. :)
They’re going to ignore my sppications unless I have an addres there.
I don't know anything about teaching jobs, but I would hope there might be some that let you apply remotely. It seems like you have done a lot. I'm not sure why schools wouldn't want to attract teachers from other states.
Because Oklahoma is basically useless as a state and they assume all teachers from here are garbage?
Idk I’ve put in a ton of job apps and the dividing line is being in the other state
I'm sorry to hear that. Don't let other people's stupidity make you feel bad about yourself, that's their problem. I wish you lots of luck.
Massachusetts would require you to pass a set of standardized tests before your Oklahoma credentials would be accepted. But the good thing is they would be accepted once you pass the tests.
Passing the tests also helps you claim: I was already planning to move there
Many states will have some hoops to jump through before your Oklahoma credentials are accepted but perhaps jumping through them will help demonstrate both your ability and your motivation
I can pass any test. I just need to know that I’m not throwing my money away paying to take them. I have nothing. There will be nothing in my bank account come the first and I’m eating potatoes until the 8th, when the third job kicks in.
