I’ve been putting off signing my contract for a few days–I can’t say that I know why. Our secretary called me today and told me that she’d like it if I stayed and would I please turn it in.
So I asked a kiddo to take it down for me. I said, “Take it to the office if you feel like it, and if you think I shouldn’t teach here next year, then just chuck it in the trash.”
He grabbed the papers and started out the door.
“Miz G, I hope it never happens, but if my brother ever comes here, I hope you’ll be his teacher. So I’m turning it in.”
Of course I wasn’t serious when I made that comment (I don’t think), but that was a nice thing for him to have said. Even if I was “fishing” a bit.
So, I’m in for another year.
Isn’t it funny how things like this happen? I am glad he had the reaction he did…always nice to know we are loved! So glad to see you are doing well these days, been missing reading your blog girlie!
That’s some compliment. And kitty

Congratulations!!! (?) The summer will rejuvenate you and you will do fine this next year. It really is a profession with a lot of rewards. I just wish that one of them was a lot of money! Oh well. At least you will know that you are helping the next generation. Take care and the menagerie says hi.
brave. I’m signed up for another year. But it seems a lot of people are jumping ship around here. And this year wasn’t as good as last year, with a dork for our grade level AP.
Wonderful compliment! I bet you are an awesome teacher (I know you’re an awesome woman!) Hope this next year brings positive experiences. Peace & love, JP/deb
Sometimes we look for signs, and this was definitely one. There are days when I would happily rip up my contract. You know.
I did wonder why someone pushed that under my door. Somehow I knew you were the kind of person to incorporate a smiley face in your signature…
