After 9 months away from the classroom I found myself back in it as of March 2015.
It is very different....different for two reasons
1. I am just an assistant. Go in. Work with kids. Leave.
2. 2nd grade. I am back in elementary again, no more middle school for me.
It is also the same. The issues happening in education are happening everywhere on some level.
It isn't just the bureaucracy, it's the kids themselves. They are different. No attention spans, no empathy...it's very scary. Ugh. I could go on and on about this, but I am tired of talking about it.
Maybe I will hit the topic up again in a different post. It does deserve some attention.
As far as what being back in the classroom/tutoring has to do with my future...I have no idea. Some days if you ask me I miss it and want to head back. Other days I don't at all. And then also some days I want to go back to school to study addiction therapy. I think if I want to go back, I would have a position pretty quickly. Is the money worth the stress? I don't know. It is harder, but I am enjoying not being a mess every night, being able to stay up until midnight and not go in until 9.
I have a life again and I love it.
HOWEVER, money is important.
Christ, I just don't know. My gut tells me that I need another year away from the classroom and then I can make a clear decision.
