I admitted to some colleagues today that I am thinking of leaving my position. Was that a mistake? Could be. I am thinking of trying to find a 6th grade World Cultures position somewhere. When you're a teacher, it's not that big of a deal to transfer because you still work for the county, you're just housed in another school with a different subject or grade. With my love of cultures, why am I teaching grammar? I adore literature and writing, but these days, English teachers are nothing more than grammar teachers. I'd be so happy teaching about what I love.
I love teaching too much to let myself be unhappy in a situation that happens to not be so good.
