What grade/subject will you be teaching? That makes a big difference. I did my demo lesson for a class at Plainfield HS before I got hired at my current school, which is in Newark. If I remember correctly, there were metal detectors there. Otherwise, I don’t remember anything else scary or weird. I’m an esl teacher, so I followed their esl teacher around for part of the day.

I’m teaching ESL at the middle school level.

Generally middle schoolers are a pain in the ass, but kids are usually pretty good to their esl teachers because it’s a fun break from the rest of the day. I think you’ll be fine. I teach in Newark where the crime rate is much worse and I love it. My kids are awesome!
