This is so hard to do.

I have been at my school for 3 years. I truly love my students, have great friends who have my back when I need them and an admin team who adores me. I am known as one of the best teachers in the school. I know that sounds bad to say, but I am at max and still have parents requesting to move their children into my class. I hate to say it but I have it so good in so many ways. This is also the only school I have had a full position in.

I have to leave at the end of this year. DH and I found our dream house last year about an hour away from my school but closer to DH work. The drive plus the fact that the district added 45 minutes to the school day is making me work 11 hours a day plus the two hour drive each day.  The district is also an urban district(with my school in the suburbs), this leads to a lot of problems in the system which trickle into the school. It's also known for being a high stress district.

DH and I want to start a family, it would not be fair to our baby for me to be gone like I am and we both have to work. This has lead me to decide that after this year I will try to transfer to the district we live in.  I am so scared to do this and I feel like I am betraying my school.  I'm afraid that I will not fit into a new school like I do this one. It took me two years of hard work to be looked at as one of the best.

 

I just needed to get this out. I know I might get flamed for some of the things I said but It makes me feel better to get it off my chest, while I am working on my application. 

Re: This is so hard to do.

  • I think the feelings you have are completely normal. Any sort of change is stressful and full of unknown. And, it really sounds like you do have it great where you are. But, as people grow and mature, so do their needs and desires. No one can fault you for wanting a family, for desiring a not-so-long commute, and for wanting to have that special "nest" with your DH. Whatever changes you make will come with their share of adjustments and maybe even some difficulties. It sounds like you are a real go-getter and some one who has high standards. That will go with you wherever you end up. Just like you did at your current school, you will probably shine in some way at your new one. I'm not sure who would flame you for anything you wrote. It seems pretty understandable and straightforward. Certainly not mean. Have fun with your new chapter in life!

     Thank you. I know all of this, it's just hard making the jump. 

    As for the flaming, I have never put into words that I am one of the best at my school. Others have said it to me but I never have. I was worried that it would sound cocky. 

  • If you are as good as you say you are you will be fine or better in a new school. Schools that are tough to work in need dedicated teachers like you!!
  • If you can get a job in a school close to your new home go for it.  When DH and I moved in together I ended up having an hour commute.  I couldn't get a job closer to home with nearly the same pay and I have a lot of the things you mentioned you have at your workplace: supportive staff, supplies and equipment (huge for me as a science teacher), and an great schedule of courses.  For me it wasn't worth it.  I have about a 10 hour day with the drive, but another hour makes a big difference.   We are expecting our first child in the summer and I may entirely change how I feel about my commute then, but right now it is worth it.

    Not trying to discourage you from creating your new life, just be sure to weigh all of the benefits and the risks.

  • Nike shoes Monday night?s Clippers achievement over the Orlando Magic was bedridden by an Achilles? bond abrasion to Chauncey Billups, who is a big acumen the Clippers are 15-7 and in additional abode in the Western Conference.

    On Tuesday, the Internet was abuzz with admirers pointing to Billups? abrasion as addition archetype of the ?Clippers Curse.?

    One problem. There is no Clippers Curse. What believers accede a anathema the blow of the apple considers a alternation of bad administration decisions.Cheap Nike Shoes Oh sure, there are times if players accept been injured: Blake Griffin absent his aboriginal division because of a knee injury. Danny Manning, the Clippers? top aces in 1988, blew out his knee in his amateur season.

    d afterwards testing absolute for HIV. Does anyone say the Lakers are cursed? No, because the Lakers admiral accept a history of authoritative astute abstract picks and trades, abrogation the aggregation in position to balance bound from setbacks.

    Look at the Clippers? abstract history: In 1981, they drafted Tom Chambers, who went on to accept a solid career ? with Seattle and Phoenix. Afterwards he averaged 17.4 credibility for the Clippers, they traded him to the SuperSonics for James Donaldson, Greg Kelser and Mark Radford. To be fair, the Clippers did abstract a approaching Hall of Famer in 1981: Tony Gwynn, who is in the Baseball Hall of Fame. In 1983, the Clippers called Byron Scott, again traded him to the Lakers. In 1984, they called Lancaster Gordon with the eighth all-embracing aces of the draft. Lancaster Gordon? Nike jordans shoes sales Meanwhile, eight picks later, the Utah Jazz called John Stockton. In 1985, with the third aces in the abstract and with Chris Mullin, Detlef Schrempf, Charles Oakley, Karl Malone and Joe Dumars all available, the Clippers selected, delay for it, Benoit Benjamin. (By the way, that year the Lakers called A.C. Green with the 23rd pick.)

    We could play the ?name the bad abstract pick? bold all day. In 1987, the Clippers had three first-round picks. They went with Reggie Williams, Joe Wolf and Ken Norman. Remember Danny Ferry? Bo Kimble? LeRon Ellis? Randy Woods? Terry Dehere? Lamond Murray? Michael Olowokandi?

    So, no, there is no Clippers Curse. There was just a alternation of abhorrent amateur cadre decisions fabricated by the team.Which seems to accept afflicted this division beneath new General Manager Neil Olshey. Who is apparently busily aggravating to ample the aperture Billups? abrasion leaves.
