But 5 or 6 different classes, so you have to prep that many lesson plans rather than being able to re-use, is rough.
Exactly. The excessive number of lesson plans is what made my niece-in-law decide not to teach there. She would have been the only Spanish teacher for the whole school. So she drives quite a distance to another district. This resulted in my great nephew not going to the school his dad went to, which annoys my sister despite my explaining repeatedly that the kid has to go to the same school as his teaching parent. He misses out on going to the local school, but he is in a bigger school with more programs and options. Also, having the same vacation schedule as mom, which pretty essential.
I know this could all change at any moment but I’m so grateful and amazed. It’s so much more than I expected.
That is really wonderful to hear! I've been thinking about you both.
I’m glad Mozzie is doing well.
Yeah, that sounds great, Brenda.
Timelies all!
18 seniors? My graduating class was 450 people. Granted, the school didn't just serve my hometown, but also surrounding towns. Still, I didn't know many people outside my classes...
I don't really have much in the way of places to say anything, but my anxiety is off the charts and my depression meds are getting a workout right now. It's been a slow start to the year financially with my business and now things are picking up and looking good, but I've got some larger invoices that are owed that are late paying (They are from schools, the late payments always seem to be from schools) and the other big stuff is all NET30 so it's a lot of juggling to keep money working. Right now it's holding up payroll, and I know that it's sometimes part of the landscape with a small business, but I'm just exhausted, And I feel so guilty because it impacts my employees and their families. Even my bones are tired. I just needed to say, or type, or something all of this out loud.
Ugh that sounds very frustrating and stressful ND! I hope some of them (edit: PAY not Pat) very soon.
My graduating class was about 250 students. The high school ltc will likely attend is the size of a small town all on its own. It’s a regional high school that includes 5 towns.
