My name is Anne Schwartz and I am a sixth year teacher in a Escondido public magnet school. I spent three at an all-girls independent boarding school and my first year teaching at a k-8 public school in Santa Clara, CA. You can read about how a public school gal ends up in Upstate New York here. I am committed to social justice, equality, and feminism. I am working on ways to live that. Also, I have a giant cat named Mulligan. He’s ridiculous.

I just found you. I’m happy I did. Great blog.
Yay! I’m happy, too.
Just stumbled upon your blog and am really enjoying it! I am currently serving at a state run boarding school in Alaska through Americorps (I’m originally from DC), and am looking into pursuing teaching as a career and hopefully teach at a boarding school. I’m thoroughly enjoying the boarding school environment and your posts resonate with many issues I am also committed to. Thanks for sharing your experiences! If you think you could find the time to shoot some advice to a prospective future boarding school teacher, I would very much appreciate it!
Hey friend sorry I missed this. My email is my name annedschwartz at gmail. Send one my way and we’ll chat!
Oh my God–Mulligan is super adorable! He looks like Rochester. Why do I not have a picture of my cat on my blog?!
Aww Mulligan is a cutie!
Hello, so glad to have found this blog. Could you elaborate whether it is doable for teachers with families to get jobs or fellowships at boarding schools, or do you find that the hiring committee views this negatively? Much appreciated!
Anne, fire me an email when you can; I would love to hear about your future.
Kate, visit my blog. You will see my contact info; I would love to also address this point.
Hi there! My name is Cameron Von St. James and I had a quick question for you & was wondering if you could please email me when you have a free moment. Thanks! I really hope to hear from you soon and appreciate you taking the time. ☺ cvonstjames AT gmail DOT com
