That is a lucky break indeed but I bet it didn't feel like it at the time. Jobs, too fickle. My dh's company he works for told them they only have another six weeks left of work garunteed. Lets hope he is as lucky and gets a better job closer to home.<BR/>RuthRuth.Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03683099916474855977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14427648.post-1156589068739946192006-08-26T05:44:00.000-05:002006-08-26T05:44:00.000-05:00oh I would love those jobs!

The thing I hate about them is just as the kids get attached, they lose a teacher and have to start all over!<BR/>But in this case it came out good for her.<BR/>:Jayne:Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10357434836700430113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14427648.post-1156550457648223782006-08-25T19:00:00.000-05:002006-08-25T19:00:00.000-05:00I was afraid when I heard her numbers that her cla...I was afraid when I heard her numbers that her class wouldn't last but it sounds like it worked out for the best for her! The test should be a piece of cake for her and she should love this new job(s)!<BR/><BR/>KipKiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10418440223452306301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14427648.post-1156549018626958082006-08-25T18:36:00.000-05:002006-08-25T18:36:00.000-05:00I'm not an educator, but my god daughter's parents...I'm not an educator, but my god daughter's parents are both educators. They're both teaching 4th grade this year at different schools. It amazes what teachers have to go through. So many hoops, rules and regulations. District, Union, School Board, money, test scores, Principal contribute to the ever changing requirements. Not knowing if your job is confirmed literally until the first day of school. Knowing that one day you are teaching such and such a grade, next day, the enrollment changes and the staffing follows suit. My god daughter's mom didn't know what grade she would be teaching and who she would be job -sharing with until 3 weeks before the year started. They had an opening and are hiring another teacher 2 weeks before school is starting. People lost their jobs at the end of last year because of budgets/contracts and found new employment. Now, those jobs are open again! It's SO stressful and unsettled, it amazes that anyone can stay with it and become tenured. I am such a supporter of teachers and my girls have been SO blessed with the teachers they have had. VERY blessed. I couldn't have hand-picked better. But, it's SO NOT fair that they never know what is going to happen from year to year! I'm happy your DD has a position and it sounds like she may get to work a little closer with smaller groups of students, which might be kind of fun!! Sorry she had to have such a scare though! Bless all of you who are educators and work or have worked with our children! -ZoraZorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16322268425694061226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14427648.post-1156547468609165402006-08-25T18:11:00.000-05:002006-08-25T18:11:00.000-05:00OH JULES!
