I’ve been meaning to post for a couple weeks now…
But I’ve been busy. A couple weeks ago my school asked me if I’d be interested in teaching after school classes at a different school. I hesitated, but it pays really well. I had to decide within the hour of them telling me and then leave for an interview. Got the job, and of course they told me I needed to start in 10 minutes (though they swore before hand I wouldn’t have to). Terrible time, not told what to do, how it was taught previously, and I was teaching grammar while reading what I was supposed to be teaching.
I work 8 hours extra a week, and get back around 6:45 as opposed to 5:00. Because I leave early for this I now have little to no time to lesson plan with my co-teacher for my regular classes. Plus, I have to write a separate lesson plan for each of those 8 extra. Also, I have to have grades for all my students for writing and grammar, as well as comments for each kid in one of the classes, by Wednesday. I know nothing about them, not even their names, and their grades are now based off of how well they answered about 10 one word answers while I looked over their shoulders. Completely arbitrary.
Extremely wore out right now, but this should pay for most of our trip come February. More interesting posts from me should be coming shortly.
