I would absolutely hate to be a teacher at some swanky prep school.

Even more than I would dislike it at a regular school.
Teaching just isn’t my cup of tea. I have great respect for those who can deal with it.

It seems to me that the entitlement of the kids would just be way too much. Anyone ever had experience in this area?

1. teaching is what u try to do while the whole class playes with cell phones nt

2. 40 years

I taught 40 years—all in inner-city schools. Entitlement like your talking about is about the least of our worries. First two weeks of retirement and strangely, I miss it.

8. Really, don't bother..........

Was in the same situation - nobody would believe it or buy it, they'd think it was fiction.

3. Yeah I suffered through 12 years of that shit!

...and still a no show at all reunions for their safety....

4. I went to a "swanky prep school" for two years...

...and definitely didn't come across as "entitled".

The I escaped and went to a prep school in Italy, which gave me some of the best experiences of my life (I'm now on their Board of Trustees).

I'm not entirely clear if your issue is teaching (I teach at NYU) or dealing with (presumably) well-off students.

6. The latter. Good for you if your experiences were good.

From my experience, I’d rather deal with underprivileged than over privileged.

7. Spent 6 months in one such school.

50% entitled aholes. Spoiled rotten.
