You want to teach what to who?
I attended the group, panel interview for the summer school position teaching middle school math yesterday. There were 5 of us interviewing and a panel of 5 asking the questions. Tell us a little bit about you and your experience. Interviewee #1 - I teach high school math and have forever. Interviewee #2 - I teach 8th grade math and have forever. Interviewee #3 - I teach middle school math and have forever. Interviewee #4 - I teach high school math and used to teach middle school math. Forever. Me - I teach 2nd/3rd grade and this is my first year.
Anyone what to hazard a guess what my chances are of getting this position? Probably the same as my chances of passing that damned test last weekend.
And oh, at some point I'll tell you all about the parent who is complaining about me because I'm "mean to the kids." Especially her son, it seems, who can't possibly be doing anything wrong. God help me. I remember a time when all I had to do was make sure systems didn't stop working and bring a behemoth company to a screeching halt in one way or another.
Those were the days.

Yep! And what happened to that behemoth company within three years after you bugged out to become a teacher? "Screeching halt" is putting it mildly. Cause and effect, Babes, cause and effect.
But I'd still be making that salary and not having to deal with some of the stuff I have to deal with now. Screeching halt is not exactly what is happening at said behemoth.
