something to think about...

"If a doctor, lawyer, or dentist had 30 people in his/her office at one time, all of whom had different needs, and some of whom didn't want to be there and were causing trouble, and the doctor, lawyer or dentist, without assistance, had to treat them all with professional excellence for nine months, then he/she might have some conception of the classroom teacher's job."

Summer School

I have been looking for a summer job to have some extra income for a few things. I had a meeting at school this past Thursday at my school for a disciplinary committee and was pulled aside by our principal. He wondered if I was still willing to teach summer school.
OF COURSE!
Perfect. Summer school runs from June 9 - July 10 and it's only until 2:30pm M-Th. I still have long weekends with my family, and I'm home early enough to spend quality time with my boys as well!

Thank goodness for summer!

The title just about says it all. This year has been particularly interesting. Teaching a split proved to be possible, yet difficult. I may have to do the same next year... we'll see when next years numbers come in. Here's for hoping!
