8 days...

I am counting, I can't lie. Things got hairy this week after being told that there was a chance I might be assigned to teach the behavior classroom that is opening up in my district. "Well, Stacey, if you think about it, it is very flattering to you. They have every confidence in you..." was the positive that everyone kept coming up with. I heard it but really what I heard was more like " Blah, Blah, Blah".

I am thankful to have a job and have been preparing to do a different kind of the same job for next year but nothing had prepared me to hear this news... I think my bursting into tears was enough said ( I think they might be reconsidering). Our district has been threatening 20-50 teacher layoffs for months now and in the end... it is just not as bad as they thought. My school actually offered the temporary people jobs again. I don't think anyone in my building is losing their job and only a few people are being transferred to another school.


I have 8 days of teaching left and then it is SUMMER VACATION for myself and my teacher friends. Ahh, the days of long rides, sleeping in, laying in the sun, and long evenings are
right around the corner, no matter what the next school year holds. I will keep you posted.
