Since Doug and I have been married (a whole month and a ½ ) I have really intensified the Teacher job search. I have always been looking, but, I have relied on my salary for the wedding. So…I wasn’t in too much of a hurry. Well, now that I am under Doug’s benefits and we don’t have a big, expensive wedding looming over our heads, I have really felt the itch to get back into teaching! I have my PA Certification to teach Art to K-12. It sounds like that would be an easy search, right? Well…the unfortunate thing is that most schools only have 3 art teachers total (elementary, middle and high school). The benefits and retirement package that most public schools offer is so good, that no one leaves until they are forced to retire. GRRR! That means those of us that teach “specials” are waiting around for a retirement or a random maternity leave that stays permanent. It’s extremely frustrating!!! So, if any of you know of an Art Ed position......send it my way!!!
I was on an interview yesterday that was just AWFUL! In the midst of the interview, a 4th grader tried to strangle his teacher. 4th grade!!!!! The school was also in Chester Township, which is one of the poorest townships in the United States. Needless to say, I was pretty bummed after that interview.
I just need to keep remembering to trust God and that a position will open up when it is meant to be.
WAY easier said than done!!! Thank goodness I have an amazingly awesome husband that is beyond supportive. He really is fabulous.
Have I mentioned how much I adore being married?!?!?! :)
