When they told us our school was shutting down, I sortof pretended like it wasn't happening. I didn't actively search for a job, I just let everything happen.
A woman who used to work with me was at a different school across the town. She is now the middle school administrator and she told her principal about me.
The principal came over last April, talked to me for 5 minutes and offered me a job at this new place.
It's a "good" school. I say that because it's almost October and I haven't heard a single curse word from a child. I teach a class of 37 students and it's not the worst thing that has ever happened to me. For the most part, they are polite and well-mannered. They understand they should be working, even when they aren't doing anything.
I put it in quotes because...it's not a actually a good school. It's a mess. It's so unorganized it makes me sad. There still aren't any consequences for inappropriate behavior. It seems like the people who work here spent many years in this district, came over here, realized the kids weren't insane, and decided that meant they didn't have to work as hard.
No one knows anything about anything, ever.
