<p>I'm brand new to this forum as I've just started to consider becoming a high school English teacher. I'm currently on a gap year with a paid, full-time internship at the school from which I graduated, and one of my responsibilities is to work as a TA in tenth grade English classes. The occasional days I actually teach full lessons have led me to fall in love with this idea - however, I do have a question.</p>
<p>How much, if any, flexibility do English teachers have in terms of what books they get to teach? I assume this differs depending on if the school is public or private - I come from a small private school, and the teachers all had to agree on the same set of books for each class, but each individual teacher could suggest and book they wanted.</p>
<p>Sorry if this is an FAQ; I searched and I didn't get any really relevant results, but I could have searched for the wrong thing. Thanks in advance for helping this newbie :)</p>
<p>EDIT - Oh, and I'm not completely sure if this is in the right forum, so my apologies.</p>
