I have spent a week in training; meeting new friends and colleagues and getting my new room together (or shall i say box).. During the many mind wandering moments i had, i comprised a list of differences or reasons that you know you are in a small district versus a large district.. I thought it would be nice to share..
10. No free water or chocolate during training... And they expect me to stay awake?!?
9. If you are breathing you are hired.. Yes, #1 quality.. all others can be fixed..
8. You co-teach with scorpions.. Don't piss them off..
7. More micro-managing.. No where to hide.. Even if you are 4 feet tall..
6. Dinosaur technology if any in the classrooms..
5. No free stuff from administration.. Where are my post its and cool teacher stuff?
4. No a/c in classrooms while setting up your room.. (Box turns into an oven)
3. Admin more in tune with dress code.. No capris (doesn't apply to me.. but no jeans ever.. Not even on Fridays when we have to wear a t-shirt.. what the * uck..
2. Walking into a local eatery or store and having someone call your name and give you some bit of information about you that you wonder if are listed in the local paper under single, breathing, and employed..
1. And the #1 reason is money.. there is none.. no tree, not under a rock, and even the idea of new taxes is like george w bush passing a 5th grade TAKS test.. even with three tries.. impossible without mods..
Hope you enjoyed and laughed a little.. I am looking forward to this school year of substantial change and learning.. Both feet in (and on the gas)..Breathing..
