Feeling low, after another interview and rejection today.
I teach a shortage subject and have had two interviews and three rejections so far. My termly assessment reports and lesson observations have been excellent so far (NQT year), and my results are good - no concerns from my current school.
Although I enjoy teaching, we all know the workload is intense. Financially it isn't essential that I am working, but I have always been financially independent, and think it's important. I'm very happy at my current school, but on a fixed term contract and there is no space next year. Workload takes its toll on me during term time, but I make sure that I rest properly and spend lots of time with dc during the holidays.
I picked dc up from school this afternoon (they were pleasantly surprised), and had a lovely time with them, chatting, reading, eating together, putting them to bed etc. I thought how nice it would be to do this more often with them, and not have to spend 2-3 hours after they've gone to bed planning, marking etc., as I am doing now.
If you didn't have to teach, would you?
