Funny Things Kids Say

"Everyone knows Girls are Custodians and Boys are Janitors."   Said by a student when the female custodian was asked what her job is. 

Custodian

So now we know the difference!  ;-)

Personality Flaw

My nearest school district has a personality test as part of their substitute vetting process.  For the last two years they have not accepted me as a sub in their district.  Apparently, I have some major personality flaw that shows up in the test.  Too bad for all of those other districts that accepted me!  ;-)

 

School Is In Session

Here in the Northwest, school starts the day after Labor Day for most schools.  Summer, I will miss you dearly.  I love to stay up late!  I hate hearing the phone ring at 5am, even if it means work.  I have tried like crazy to get a job for this school year, and it just hasn't happened.  Nearly every district in my state laid people off and the hiring they are doing is mostly bringing those laid off back on the job.  I can't even get a part time Instructional Assistant job.  I don't feel cut out for subbing.  Friends of mine enjoyed subbing so much this year that they didn't even try to get a job.

I am going to keep applying for everything, and hopefully something will come up.  A Superintendent friend of mine told me that the best time for new teachers to get a job is after the school year has started.  Many schools add teachers after the year starts because the numbers allow for another classroom.  He said not to give up hope, so I will try not to.
