Dilemma

I have new developments to add to my current life situation, and with these developments come further questions and concerns.

As I mentioned before, I submitted my resume to a school in Lynwood, WA that is hiring a first grade teacher. I recently received an email response thanking me for my resume and inviting me to fill out an application. Good news so far, right? However, in this email, the school principal informed me that the school is made up mostly of “highly privileged and hyper focused” students and admittedly much different from my current teaching placement. Hyper focused sounds great to me. Highly privileged-not so much.

Would I want to teach at a school where my current students would not be welcomed? Would it feel vocationally fulfilling?

I’m thinking of staying in L.A. now. What should I do?
