I started my new job the Tuesday after Valentine's day. The first week was all training ( this school is part of a nationwide company, so there are very strict company procedures and policies that I had to be trained for.) I started teaching in the classroom this Tuesday. This school is much different from anywhere I have ever taught before. There are no consequences for inappropriate behavior, which makes classroom management near impossible. I have come home with a headache every night this week on the edge of tears because this new school is just such an adjustment. I will not be able to share much about it through the blog due to new teacher/blog implications but if you would like to know more e-mail me and I will be happy to share.
(This teacher in PA has been suspended pending trial and may lose her job due to comments on her personal blog about her student's behavior. Teacher's Blog Case.)
I just finished reading I Am Number Four, I can't wait to go see the movie now, it was such a good book!
Allen has a lot going on these next few weeks, more on that later (again, e-mail me if you would like to know more) And please be praying for the budget situation in congress to work out quickly. The democrats and republicans are fighting with each other over the budget and to "prove a point" if they don't resolve the issue by March 4th (this Friday) then they will shut down the Government until an agreement can be met; which means Allen will be without pay for an undetermined amount of time. That's pretty bad news. This has happened before and they are saying it is very likely that it will happen again. The news article is here.
I am dreading going back to work on Monday... I think this chaotic classroom environment just might be my demise!
Nah, I know it will be okay, it is just going to take an extra dose of patience.
