[Fly Like a Duck]

I personally don't believe bargaining for multiple jobs should be a thing but I am aware it happens everywhere.

You take the job because you like it, the pay is acceptable, and it's what you want to be doing. me and mine have worked and coached at separate schools for several years because I'd rather let my own talents open doors for me.

Are you all in the same district?

Are you both from the area(s)?

I have no problem with it. You and your family are making the commitment to them, more times than not living and buying a house in the community. Nothing wrong with asking for a commitment on their end.

There isn't much enticing about the coaching world right now. Often times unrealistic expectations, with little resources for absolute crap pay....if your wife is a teacher, and one that is a good one at that, I have zero issues with it.

I have a bigger issue with coaches who wouldn't ask that of the administration, yet move their wives and kids clear across the state to an area they have absolutely zero ties to and then expect them to drive another 30 miles into ANOTHER district where they have even less ties & say, "Here you go".

My wife and I both are in different districts and have been doing so for 8 years (all of her teaching years), but IF I was ever to get back into the coaching profession, I'd be asking what they could do for her; because if not, we can stay right here where we are and her have to drive to a different district..60 mile round trip everyday (not to mention the hassle of having to sell your house & all of that headache).

I have zero issues with it for what my 2 cents (if that) is worth.
