So…I’ve been at the new spot long enough to know that I’m pretty happy here.
Things are very different than at the old spot but this place has grown on me. The kids are great, the new Principal is very similar to what I’m used to, and there is so much opportunity for growth here.
I think I can do a lot of good in a spot like this. There are, of course, some things left to be desired such as more access to technology in the classroom, newer materials, and a larger, more equipped media center.
Overall, I’m dealing with less stress, more engaged students, and an easier school day.
The new school will never replace the old school, but I am definitely starting to dig this place.
I burn baby burn like disco inferno…
I’ve been at the new school for 10 days now and things are only getting better. As I get to know the students I can see that these kids have been craving consistency, a challenge, and someone who wants to be there for them and not just for a paycheck.
There is so much potential for growth at this school. The students are willing to do whatever it is I ask of them and the parents will be supportive as long as their children are learning and excited about school. I’m happy at the start and end of every day and I wasn’t able to say that before.
Money is still an issue though. My last job paid me much more money, but I feel as if I traded that money for piece of mind and you cannot put a price on mental physical health and happiness.
I’m still weighing my options but if they can meet some of my salary demands I think I want to return for the 2009-2010 school years.
We shall see.
