Hey all,

I am looking to find out about teaching in the UK. I am a NYS Certified English Educator, for grades 7-12, have my BA in Secondary English Language Arts, and am currently working on my MA in Literacy education, grades 5-12.

I know that there is an abundance of teaching positions in the London area, however, I am looking to be somewhere smaller and less congested (you know, differnt from NY).

I am wondering about alot of things, such as:
1)Can anyone reccomend a job website they found helpful, a recruitment agency, etc
2)Can anyone offer info on nice areas to work in
3)What are Bristish schools like, I hear that many schools have students with behavorial problems, and overcrowded classes
4)Is it hard for a US citizen to get a work permit (again, I hear it is difficult)
5)Has anyone been in a similar situation and have some advice to offer?
6) Anything else?

Anything to help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance

Take care everyone
