Right, I took 18months off from teaching...I needed a break, I needed time to think and do something else for a lil while. Turns out other things, well, they are BORING. Full-time jobs have felt like I do NOTHING all day long. It makes you feel like you are failing in your job, it is a very strange feeling. So, I have bitten the bullet so to speak and am throwing myself, minus floaties, back into the deep end that is teaching and RELIEF (substitute/emergency - call it what you will) teaching.
So join me in navigating my way back into the field I previously loved, the politics I hated and the stoopidity that is our enforced membership to a 'college' of teaching that somehow helps us...but that is the next post...
