Reposting from general board. Has anyone done, or known anyone who has done, the NYC teaching fellowship? My current career is incompatible with family life, and am looking for a change. Is anyone else considering this? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

I have considered it a coupole times, but would be a huge pay cut, they want people in specialties that do not interest me, and you have to be willing to work mostly in very bad districts in the Bronx and Brooklyn.
