prep at 2:30 when the kids left. HA! Who could move at that point?
there were the meetings that ate up that time as well.I have remedied my situation by leaving the district altogether andgoing to the middle school level in another district where classes are47 minutes long. I feel like I’ve died and gone to heaven. What I haveaccomplished in five weeks is incredible compared to what I did in highschool on the block. My students speak better and are farther along inthe book. There is no comparison in my eyes.I truly sympathize with you and hope you can guard your sanity and yourenthusiasm. I know that not everyone can leave one district and go toanother as easily as I did, but it is an option.
