I'm #1 I am still hanging on the job front for next year. I mean, I have my job at my current school, with Dr. Bitch as the principal and the insane schedule we're giving the kids that will include no social studies, science, or arts for the majority of our students. Really...we'll be down to a grand total of 4 seventh grade science classes instead of the 15 we have this year. Scary stuff. It turns out, however, that a friend of mine used to work for the principal of the brand new middle school that will be opening right down the street from my house. I've already interviewed with the district. The interview was awesome. It went so well that when it was over I was told to stay put while they got someone from HR to conduct the second round immediately that day. But, ever since then, it's been a matter of waiting for the district to do any shuffling they need to do and then waiting to see if there is an opening that I fit. So, my friend emailed this principal on my behalf. I also emailed her and just let out all the stops. I figured worst case scenario, she thinks I'm too pushy and full of myself and doesn't hire me. No worse off than I am now, eh? On Sunday, she wrote back to me and told me that she'd take a look at my application. That was good news and I've been on pins and needles the last 3 days waiting for her to call. She hasn't called yet, however she emailed my friend and told her that I am #1 on her list after any district transfers. So, I'm keeping my fingers, toes, eyes, etc. crossed that no one else transfers into her school. I really do need to leave my job. I love the teachers I work with, especially the group that makes up my indisciplinary team this year. I will really miss working with them. But the lack of student discipline, lack of respect for teachers, and total underhanded manipulation by the principal has worn me out. I'm done with all of it. Greener pastures are calling. Let's just hope they call before I have to sign my contract for next year. past | future0 comments Listening to: Reading: Eating/drinking: Do what to me?!? - April 24, 2007 Wicked funny websearch - April 05, 2007 Trot out the dogs 'n ponies - March 31, 2007 Almost done... - March 20, 2007 Who am I? - March 12, 2007 READ ME |
