Hahaha! I just found the collar Malachi "lost" many many months ago in a hidey hole inside a closet where he is never allowed to go. Poor guy is NOT happy with the resumption of collared life. I am watching him try to lick it off and ROFLMAO.

NYC MetroCard vending machines give dollar coins for change.
I also hear there are these places called "banks" which will exchange money for you.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
"banks"
Don't trust 'em! They're all ran by Commies! They take your money and never give it back!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

If God intended me to set foot in banks, he'd put ATMs in them. That, um, dispensed dollar coins.

Our wings are not tired.
I used to give the boys dollar coins. I got them from the post office.

UMKC offers only interdisciplinary Ph.Ds. I'll be moving to Kansas in October, so there's also KU. Although it would be an hour drive, so...
The thing that worries me the most is the lack of health insurance, frankly, given my 2 surgeries in the last 2 years. I take 3 scripts monthly, so it's a consideration. Mostly, though, I want to (a) teach stimulating topics, (b) not have to constantly deal with crisis or behavioral classroom issues and (c) have a more fluid schedule.
And not have to obsess about curriculum. Pedagogy, I'm fine with, but spending more time writing a lesson than teaching it is getting frustrating.
I'm speaking of the endless justification of a lesson, nut actually thinking about how to research, scaffold and present a lesson. My curriculum classes have made me a better teacher -- I do resent all of the minute, CYA, NCLB bs that is present in public secondary ed.

I can see that. Would private school be an option at all?

Sure, i'm not discounting teaching in high school for the next couple of years totally. I'm just thinking about what is frustrating me, and what I like and dislike about teaching. I'm really tired of not teaching, and focusing on the more social work and behavior issues part.
I'm becoming a Danny Glover/Mary Blige mash-up: I'm too old for this shit; too much drama.

Good thinking. Sorting out the pros and the cons and what exactly about your current job is problematic is sensible in the extreme. it kinda bums me out because you were so enthusiastic about teaching not very long ago, but I have a lot of sympathy for you. All the non-teaching CYA stuff is what got me out of teaching ages ago.
