Congratulations, Mrs. Chili! Knock ‘em dead…I mean, not literally, of course…they probably won’t be inclined to renew your contract if you start knocking off problematic students and stuffing them in the dumpsters.
Uh, ahem, I should probably go now…so, anyways, congrats.

That sounds like a really sweet position and a truly logical and impressive way to handle the issue. I’ve got to say I didn’t think any American school system had it in them.

I remembered that one of the reasons you said that you were sharing your teaching journey in this format was so other would-be-teachers could get a sense of the process. That being said,I believe that you have (and continue) to show others that sheer determination and overcoming obstacles are also big parts of the process!! “Just keep Swimming!!”

Sub, sub, suuuuuuuuuuuuub.
Yes, you might have to do Chemistry, but like you said it’s just babysitting. And everyeon will get to know your face, your style, your eagerness.
You would also be getting to know all the local schools and the staff.
Maybe some English teacher around there will discover she’s preggers here soon and her doctor husband will insist that she quit her job, stay home and shop for baby parephenalia.
What?
It could happen!
