Assault Charge is back!

Positive recognition for a job well done
"Mr. Chachere I just wanted to let you know that everyone that I talk to says that you are doing a great job. I know it does not seem like anyone notices your hard work sometimes but I wanted to let you know that we do and we have."

New Students = New Problems

• 4 weeks in I get a new student that does not speak a word of English and she is absent the next day.

New students = Same old problems

• How hard is it to add, subtract, multiply, and divide positive and negative integers and fractions

I miss my wife! ;(

My Daily Struggles

Yesterday: Office 2000! Really? Come on now North Forest!

Duty time has been changed to 7:00AM! This means that now i have to be at school earlier and I do not have time to prepare because duty runs until the first period bell rings.

Today: No printers in our classroom! Nowhere to submit copies, and all teachers have to use the two broken copy machines in the lounges! Really?

Oh yeah, and did I mention that there are about 5 to 7 more copiers in the building that are almost like brand new being used for the clerical staff. FML!

To Be Continued.......

Things are different this year

I never would have thought that being the only TFA at my school would mean that things would be soooooo different. It is sad how many people have lost that drive and passion that compelled me to join the Corp. Sometimes I wish and pray for at least one of my coworkers to be positive or allow me to problem solve with them, as opposed to them complaining and whining to me.

Things I want to forget about from last year!

1. Getting burned and missing 4 weeks of school.

2. Corporal Punishment - overused and primitive

3. Children having inappropriate dealings and relationships with adults.

4. My own lack of preparation at times.

5. Someone breaking into my house.

6. A tree falling on top of my car.

8. To be continued...
