I'm guesing you can't transfer to the new school/would be too stressful if you could?
Ask for their recommendations before they go. Do you know/trust the principal/whoever makes the placement decisions? Hector had a terrible KG year and a new teacher was coming -the teacher Hebe had moved to a different grade. The interim principal (really the media specialist) said "trust me" and I did because although I didn't know her that well, I knew she knew my kids. She put him with the new teacher, I was panicked.... best teacher EVER. Totally turned hector's elementary education experience around. I might be fine. It really might.

Yeah, you never know Clod. The new teacher might be even better. Try not to stress too much. There'll be plenty of time for that if the new teacher is a piece of shyte.

Yeah, not allowed to transfer Minifobette, and wouldn't want to transfer Minifob. Supposedly his placement has already been agreed to for first grade, with a teacher we're confident about. Except it's more of a handshake thing, since they refuse to officially declare anything until they really do the rosters in August. And I forgot to mention that our principal is also going to the new school. Which is okay, I didn't really like her anyway, but there's no guarantee that the new principal will care about the old principal's promises.
It'll probably all work out fine. The new principal is male, and in my experience male principals are a lot nicer than female ones. And I'm crossing my fingers that the new PPCD teacher will be the maternity leave substitute that everyone liked so much. I'd be happy with her. Still, it's stress I totally didn't need right now. |

I have no doubt it will, it's just a matter of how many heads you have to crack to get there.

Maybe the universe has something better in mind for you! xx

Bad luck, mate. Hard as it is, try not to be too disheartened about it. Competition for jobs is high. It's a numbers game more than anything. Keep applying and interviewing, and eventually one of them will hit.
*hugs* sucks though.

I am very upset today. I cried for most of it. And all around me people are having a great hokiday in great weather. I can't say why yet, I need to find some resolution for the situation before I can. But I am so miserable, hurt, pissed off, bemused and angry. Apparently when people say "how are you?" They don't really want to know unless you're ok.

I'm sorry, monster. I hope you feel better soon. I agree that "how are you" is almost never an actual question anymore. Around here people say it with a downward pitch inflection, like a statement, and don't even pause to hear a perfunctory "fine." It's equivalent to "good to see you."
Which is really frustrating when you are not well and wish you could tell someone about it. |

I think most people expect you to say something positive or at least not negative, so it's usually fun when you go through the check out and the girl says, "Hi, how are you?" to then launch into just what sort of a shit day you've had and explain why your three year old will be lucky to see four, and how your teenagers are spawn of the devil, and your husband is a useless see you next tuesday sometimes and how the cats pissed on the mat AGAIN, and the dog keeps getting out even though the fence is fortified better than fort knox. [breath], and then you ask how the check out chick is and she looks at you like you're some kind of a crazy woman.
Yep, most people don't really care, so sometimes, it's good to make them realise that there's no point asking unless you really really want to know. I hope things get better for you monster. It sux when something really goes wrong. xx
