I went to two job interviews but was not offered a position. Now I report to my school temporarily, as they have no openings. Tomorrow, Wednesday I'll report to do what I don't know. The principal is very nice and open with me, which I appreciate. They've told me I'll have a small class of elementary students til the 10 day count. Then, after Labor Day, I'll be assigned a school somewhere. As veteran teachers know, this is NOT desirable. By then students in that class will be totally out of control, probably having run off a number of substitute teachers, and generally having the run of the class. This is a fact, not cynicism and applies to elementary students and older students. I'll obviously work late just to get the room set up; and probably the professional development classes I went to this summer were for naught...Oh well! Like they told me, AT LEAST I HAVE A JOB. <br /><br />And why hasn't HR contacted any of us? It would be nice to think they're collaborating with me! After all, I collaborate- who can teach effectively without collaboration? They could make me feel like a person again- not a loser or worthless. Whoops, didn't mean to let that slip out...Mark FeltMark Feltnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1107550755163115303.post-67976556106023220552017-08-07T19:47:50.911-06:002017-08-07T19:47:50.911-06:00TU finally got around to running a story about it....TU finally got around to running a story about it.
