Well, in case you haven't heard, my new job is next to impossible.
I truly think I am the most ineffective teacher in the history of the world. My kids run wild, I am trying to teach 16-year-old how to add 1 digit numbers, some of my kids can barely write their own name, and all of my boys are in "love" with me and write me inappropriate love letters. I go to bed at 9 every night, and I eat sad meals that I cook for me and my roommate, and the most exciting spot in town is Wal-mart. I miss my boyfriend, my friends, and my freedom.
I actually did a dance in the hallway today out of happiness when I found out my WORST BEHAVED STUDENT who is in TWO of my classes got suspended for 10 days. That's 10 days of teaching. I am really stoked. Of course, he got suspended for jumping another child in the hall.
Teaching is the hardest thing I have ever done, and I truly think it takes a special person to get up every morning and fight this battle, and I don't think I can be that person for more than 2 years. Ughh.

I'm very proud of you Kacie. It might get better - definitely though teaching normal kids in a decent school would seem like a vacation (after your two years of hell!)
We are with you no matter what you decide. Having spent a good portion of my tech career as a teacher, I can agree with your father, my brother, Ziggy, Rooster, and Maggie's uncle...once this two year xoot is over, teaching in a good school where most of the kids are there to learn, will be the most rewarding, job you may ever have. We love you.

sid, I love you guys too. You should tell boonya that the woman who wrote Dive From Clausen's Pier did write another novel called "Songs Without Words" and it's AWESOME.
