This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Teacher seeking school position in Chicago by mjdomer

My daughter (SMC 2013) began her teaching career in DuPage Cnty after graduation, working in a Diocese of Joliet parish school. She then moved to NYC in Aug 2015, where she had a pre-K classroom in a Catholic school on the upper East side.

She is just now back in Chicago, and is looking for a teaching position in the city. Given that she's starting after the school year is underway, she recognizes that she may be working as a substitute teacher for a while before permanent positions become available.

She is initially focusing her search on Chicago Archdiocese schools, as well as private preK-8 elementary schools. She possesses IL certifications for K-8 Elementary Education (03) and LBS1.

She would appreciate any leads or introductions into Archdiocese elementary schools, especially any in proximity to downtown & Lincoln Park (St Clements, Immaculate Conception, FXW, Old St Mary's, St Josaphat, etc.).

My email is included above; thanks to all for your help.
