"The stamp on my passport basically said, 'Try to earn any of our British money and we will deport you, you lousy yank.'" - Meredith, on US-UK relations
yay. Amy got a job teaching world history, economics/govt, and art at a small charter school. Only 150 students, full time is considered 4 hour and a half teaching periods a day (one of which is a prep period), and 189 contract working days a year. Not to mention the fact that the salary is a whole 51% more than I've ever made in my life and 198 more dollars than my husbands first management job.
I get a big classroom with lots of windows, I get to have a goldfish, and all the plants (bonsais) I can fit in the room. Its an old building with only 6 classrooms, hardwood floors, and pictures of the first graduating classes of the original school on the wall.
Yay. Happy. And the cherry? A trip to San Fran in November to attend the Coalition of Essential Schools conference. Yay.
And I will need lots of help from you overachievers.
