I am going to F****** scream! I just left a team meeting and my schedule will be totally changed! I want to quit and move back to New Orleans. How do I even attempt to explain this? First, I teach 6th grade Literature. We have 2 teams in the sixth grade. Each team has about 150 students. We have a magnet program here where exceptional students go to Spanish rather than Literature. SO I get about 100 of the 150 on my team. Well, I cross team with the other Literature teacher...I gave her 20 of my kids during her small classes. She gave me 20 of her kids during my small classes. We did this 2 weeks ago. She and I teach VERY differently! She's considered HITLER if that gives you any idea! My kids beg me to come back to my class. Of course I gave her some of the challenging students...she is so mean that she can usually straighten out the bad apples, or at least they fear her.
Well an hour ago I find out I am getting my 20 back... =( and my classes will change and GOd Almighty now I will be teaching a class of Language Arts. Which for me means more planning and more paperwork...and I want to just jump ship.
Let me add to it...I teach Literature...we have Literature workbooks...Well my new Language Arts teacher who has Grammar workbooks tells me she has already used several stories out of the Lit workbook that I teach from. OK, how else can I let off steam today??? My materials are being used, my classes are changing and now I have to find more work, retrain my kids, add new lesson plans and lose what is left of my mind in the process.
It didn't help that I couldn't sleep last night and hit snooze 7 times this morning, eventually getting out of bed at 7:45 and made it to school and my classroom for 8:15. I knew I should have stayed in bed this am. I just knew it! It doesn't help that I make 36 tomorrow and I am feeling really alone.
