Perhaps you could hear what others are doing and learn something from them, but nobody has a right to tell you exactly how to cope. This is something, I guess, that comes with experience, dedication, reflection, consultation with your family, and eventually deciding which is best for you. But your efforts are certainly appreciated. Personally, I believe that teaching should give you something that no other job can give you - something indescribable, something that makes you eternally happy and satisfied to see people you have taught become something worthwhile in life right before your eyes. Money does not give that kind of satisfaction. It does not come from riches. It comes from another universe which I really cannot describe. But I know the feeling when I get it.Thozi Nomvetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10074862465747985304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725285395319049030.post-69830296322590590012010-02-20T21:41:13.622-05:002010-02-20T21:41:13.622-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Thozi Nomvetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10074862465747985304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725285395319049030.post-48426033403995889702010-02-16T16:39:22.732-05:002010-02-16T16:39:22.732-05:00I agree.

I find myself putting in lots of extra hours, paying for Hosa items, taking students to competions on weekends without any personal compensation. I do not know if we get another pay cut, that I will be able to financially continue. Have you applied for extended day pay thru state extended day? I have been told I will be required to do this, but have not had the time to reseach it yet. I know a lot of teachers who put in alot of extra hours. Bottom line- you need to do what is best for you & your familyEmilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12660775559828831449noreply@blogger.com
