I agree with Ms. B, though, it sounds like you're just really worn down and sick and it's the hotter-than-hell last five days with the kids... the school year dragging to a close. Go back and read some of your blog posts from earlier in the year - it seems like you had a really successful year overall. You made a lot of progress with some difficult classes. <BR/><BR/>And I can so identify with people moving away from NYC. Over the years, I've seen so many people come and go.... and two more of my good friends are moving away August 1st. :-(<BR/><BR/>hang in there!ms. v.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16032352563527935021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6516000.post-40621177479841050792007-06-20T20:05:00.000-07:002007-06-20T20:05:00.000-07:00What it sounds like to me (a frustrated teacher-to...What it sounds like to me (a frustrated teacher-to-be trying hopelessly to get a job for September with less than favorable results thus far) is that you - above all - need a vacation. A long one. Without any children around whatsoever.<BR/><BR/>If you're still feeling this way in early August, I say, start that wonderful "I'm updating my resume and personalizing cover letters" bit to seek out a better environment.<BR/><BR/>Have you thought about relocating or do you want to stay in NYC to teach?East Coast Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14402184287700165184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6516000.post-54541398796328664392007-06-20T18:05:00.000-07:002007-06-20T18:05:00.000-07:00aw, you guys! thanks for being good blogfriends. :...aw, you guys! thanks for being good blogfriends. :)<BR/>i looked online at new schools and thought about my resume. not that i did anything with it, mind you! :) made me feel proactive, at least. <BR/>i'll probably stay here and try to reinvigorate myself. meh, who knows. thanks again for all the good thoughts.Nacho Loverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11370735026568009605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6516000.post-27796229921883313552007-06-20T17:53:00.000-07:002007-06-20T17:53:00.000-07:00My last friend at my school is moving to Wisconsin...My last friend at my school is moving to Wisconsin. Luckily it's b/c her husband got a position at the university where my in-laws teach...so I'll be able to see her again...but still. I can relate to you on that one.<BR/><BR/>My bad class is on a trip tomorrow. Hallelujah.<BR/><BR/>I wish you were coming to my school, but I think it'd be a bit of a commute for you.Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09151845771900198948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6516000.post-18231020734727166382007-06-20T17:26:00.000-07:002007-06-20T17:26:00.000-07:00I wish you could transfer to my school- we have a ...I wish you could transfer to my school- we have a 7th grade ELA position open- you would be great, plus parking is not a problem and there are lots of places to eat nearby, lol. <BR/><BR/>How are you feeling?17 (really 15) more yearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05136846071554141284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6516000.post-50625811273959022792007-06-20T15:41:00.000-07:002007-06-20T15:41:00.000-07:00Is it just me, or is there really no happy medium ...Is it just me, or is there really no happy medium with teaching? It seems people either LOVE being a teacher, or they LOATHE it. I don't envy you teachers AT ALL.
