Good luck with that.<br />Your school sounds like my school. We had big changes last year - the biggest being put into multiage teams rather than straight grades. I have to say it has worked out okay for me. My team is doing great.We work well together and get along. The other teams - not so much. Morale is quite low. <br />I don't think the general public has a clue of how stressful teaching can be. The most stressful part for me is the pace and how much there always is to get done. It is impossible. <br />I hope this becomes a good change for you. I'd tell you to apply in Vermont but it is really hard to get teaching jobs here. One friend who lost her job because her whole school closed because of low enrollment - now has a permanent job after lots of long term subbing.ajhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04851129364728161965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4537450442045228322.post-88965881112295973132012-02-26T00:10:18.589-06:002012-02-26T00:10:18.589-06:00Hi Amy.....I am so sad about your news that is a h...Hi Amy.....I am so sad about your news that is a huge bummer! Teaching is so personal.....how can one not take it that way.....I have had some criticism from parents this year and it makes me so sad! Been a crazy year with occupy oakland(hubby is a police officer) while my kids were all sick, then my gallbladder attack, and now recovering from surgery......so I have been out quite a bit! Makes for unhappy people.....but my principal is so supportive! So....I am thinking that this will be a nice, although scary at first, change for you! I am in California.....if you decide to come our way....let me know!<br /><br />Question.....how do you end up getting to sample cool running products? I am new to blogging....just started in January with our family blog, then after finding your blog I decided I needed a blog for my teaching, running, reading, and crazy mom stuff! I love linking up and all the fun giveaways! When you have a chance would love to hear more.....Minicoopshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06453183127774609430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4537450442045228322.post-14728098655325692132012-02-25T15:30:15.248-06:002012-02-25T15:30:15.248-06:00Amy, as I look back on the years between the age I...Amy, as I look back on the years between the age I am now and your age, I can clearly see that certain things that happened in my life (job-wise, relationship-wise, etc.), while devastating at the time, lead me to better things. I am hoping this will be true with your current situation, and that you will see this with the benefit of hindsight and breathe a huge sigh of relief that it turned out this way! The best of luck to you!TurboTurtlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01300794888806456117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4537450442045228322.post-10846863181648164672012-02-25T14:36:47.855-06:002012-02-25T14:36:47.855-06:00I am very sorry about your job situation.
