How appropriate, then, is my choice for Movie Madness Monday this week?<BR/><BR/>Just don't give in to your anger....<BR/><BR/>Congratulations!<BR/><BR/>I felt the same when when I moved from the middle school to the high school. I just needed something different."Ms. Cornelius"https://www.blogger.com/profile/16970201479637588558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15366612.post-1153107396412473972006-07-16T20:36:00.000-07:002006-07-16T20:36:00.000-07:00Thanks, Polski.You know, it really is what I want....Thanks, Polski.<BR/>You know, it really <I>is</I> what I want. I've had a couple of rough years in the classroom, and need to find something different before I become the kind of teacher I hate: bitter, burned out, and taking it out on kids. While I have no illusions that being an adminstrator is easier than teaching, it's a different kind of work, which is something I'm looking forward to. <BR/>The classroom part of my new job is great for the credibility factor, and for the connection to kids. As for what I'll be teaching, I'm not sure. My credential is history, but I may have to do something else, depending on scheduling and what I can get HOUSEE'd for. <BR/>I'm having a lot of fun with the "Mr. Mom" bit so far. We spent the afternoon at a birthday party, so dinner was pretty much chips and cake. Oh, yeah, Mom will be so proud! On the other hand, I did make them clean up the living room fort before bed!Jim Connollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04009536041571126749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15366612.post-1153106195547626492006-07-16T20:16:00.000-07:002006-07-16T20:16:00.000-07:00Hey, Congrats on becoming an administrator....if t...Hey, Congrats on becoming an administrator....if that is what you want. As Metallica crooned in KING NOTHING, "Careful what you wish, you just might get it"....<BR/><BR/>It is cool that you can still teach too....an administator being in the classroom is good, in the eyes of many teachers.....you'll KNOW what we are dealing with.<BR/><BR/>Have fun with your paper and being full time D+M ! It can be a special time to bond with your kids and it is amusing (at least to me), to see the expressions on my wife's face when she hears about such things as her children's diet while she was away, things they got to do that they may not have normally got to do.....etc. What class will you be teaching?
