well, i survived. the RIF, that is.
unfortuantley, one of my friends, colleagues and teammate did not. she taught second grade math.
now i do. i got "transferred" to teach math and science (at my own campus). and i had to move into her classroom, even as she was still moving out. that wasn't awkward or uncomfortable at all.
so here i am, ten weeks into school, and starting over. i guess one positive is that i already know the kids, but i am still moving, unpacking, and learning to teach a new math curriculum (in two days...with no notice!)
things are still a little chaotic as we all adjust. but lets face folks, that 30 million dollars in "saved" salaries...thanks to the feds...that isn't gonna happen. they aren't gonna grant us special waivers because we are incompetent. and NOR SHOULD THEY. so when the next round of layoffs...my guess to the tune of 300 more teachers/instructional coaches/specialists occurs...yours truly may not be so lucky.
in fact, with Christmas past (at that point), a baby due in two months, and a three-month salary for quitting....yours truly might just volunteer to sign those papers!
