OT: Teachers of Boneyard...Back to School Time

[husky429]

I graduated in 2011 and the change in teacher job markets is wild. I was looking for social studies jobs and there were 5 open in the whole state that summer.

My first job had 98 applicants. No idea why those idiots hired me.

May is definitely the worst month of the school year. Standardized testing and you’re still trying to hold kids to some kind of a standard. June is just survive and advance.

We have 23 days of school in May. I am giving standardized tests or make-ups 21 of those days. Even kids who show up have testing 13 days.

May is definitely the worst month of the school year. Standardized testing and you’re still trying to hold kids to some kind of a standard. June is just survive and advance.

For sure.

My mom is back in the hospital, but thankfully, as you mentioned, probably because that it's already mid-May, my school has been super kind to let me have as much time off I need to be with my mom. I'm certain they'd do the same no matter the date, but it's definitely easier to "let go of control at work" now then, let's say, December.
