Random thoughts and general nonsense, posted while I probably should have been studying. 
Summer Vacation
Posted 07-11-2009 at 01:35 PM by SusieP.
I think today is Saturday. (It is, right?)
My school is over, teaching is over, my son is out of school, we've done a week at WDW, and aside from getting the boy to tennis lessons twice a week, I have no schedule. It's really, really weird.
The WDW vacation deserves a post of its own, so I'll do that later when I have more time. (I know, I know, it looks like I've got nothing but time right now, but I'm just not feeling very creative since we've been home. Lazy is more like it.)
The bummer part is that the day before we left for Orlando, which was the day AFTER school ended, my principal called to let me know that I had been bumped out of my classroom by someone who had more seniority. So as I'm packing to leave, I find out I have no job for the fall. I'm back to Square One, as far as interviewing and starting over, which most likely means a new grade level IF I can land a spot. Competition will be fierce, since there's probably 70+ teachers in my same situation. I hope that I haven't outpriced myself by getting my MA this year. It would be much cheaper to hire a younger teacher without the extra degree.
Oh well, it is what it is, and something will work out eventually. I'm thankful that I have another year of experience to add to my resume. I still have to go empty out my classroom and I'm putting that part off. I don't wanna! :stamps foot: I told my office manager to tell the new teacher that my classroom was haunted to try and scare them away- ya think it will work?

I think it's worth a shot. Then maybe the new teacher will go away and you can have your classroom back!Posted 07-13-2009 at 12:20 AM by dsnylndmom
