Threezing Thursday Roll Call

Good Morning PA peeps,

     I was up early this AM and decided to do a posting.  Was subbing the past two days and the "natives" were very restless.  I was in a 2nd grade classroom and I just kept them working hard.  I spoke to the principal yesterday about the possibility of me being a long term sub in this class and found out that she is looking for someone with more experience in primary.  Although I am not a primary teacher I know that I could do the job but the problem is that I don't have the "paper" to show that.  It seems that experience is valued less and less and paper is valued more and more these days.  I know that I am starting to sound like an old fart but it is getting very discouraging.  It is so disheartening to know that you are more than qualified to do the job and yet are not given the opportunity to do so.  She did ask if I would help "transition" the new teacher in since I know that kids and the routine.  I need the money so of course I said yes.  So today I am sad and trying hard not to let it get me down.  On a brighter note we are getting closer to the winter solstice and that means the days will be getting longer again. 

     Hope that everyone has a good day today and that life isn't too crazy for you.  For myself I am just trying to stay focused on the present and not giving into the sadness.  Take care all.
