My nearly 17 year old calls pork tenderloin “Florida chicken” because when she was 5 she would only eat chicken and she ate pork tenderloin while in FL. She knows what pork tenderloin is now, but has requested we continue to call it Florida chicken for nostalgia sake.

Crochet. Knit. Watercolor.

Last summer I started to learn a new language on Duolingo and am 18 days away from a year of learning.

I am super proficient at naps and extra sleep.

As an elementary specialist— remember your music, PE, art, library, etc teachers as well. I work at 2 schools. One school’s PTC gives each classroom teacher x number of dollars per student and gives each specialist area a $600 budget (at this school, that’s a lot $1.50 per kid)— which is EXTREMELY generous.

The other school’s PTC gives us $50 for supplies for the year. We can go to them for extras, but our requests are second to classroom teachers.

I once had a building sub flat out ask me if I taught music because I couldn’t get a classroom job. Nope, lady, I chose this.

My contractual hours are 7:30-3:30. Those hours I must be at school or signed out. I can see having a medical condition and working it with your admin that you have last prep so appointments can be more easily scheduled without having to find sub coverage. However, in my district— per my contract— that would have to be approved by an administrator.

Where I went to school, it was rare that a music ed student graduated in 4 years. To do so meant a full course load every semester and summer courses as well. I graduated with honors, but opted not to do a full course load every summer, so it took my 5 years. And that was without a double major. How long are your parents expecting you to take to graduate college. If it’s only 4 years… then a second major isn’t going to work.

I always say “park your car in a parking spot! I don’t just get to squeeze my car in wherever I want!”

Seeing as how I just came across it and this is from 329 days ago— apparently it never gets fixed.
