I've posted this on my other thread, but thought I'd start a separate thread as well to maybe get a wider viewpoint.
BAsically the story is I applied to jobshare as a teacher, head turned it down, I then said I would appeal, and I've since got the union involved. But I'm now having second thoughts because:
a) It doesn't matter if I win or lose, I still have to go back to the same school, with the same head. Don't want to make the fuss, and then have to face everyone again.
b) I've since spoken to head and asked if I can go back into the same year group as I had last year, as this means everything will be familiar and i can ease back gently into teaching (due to rolling curriculum the topics are exactly the same in sept as my last year before leaving) my planning is all on disc so would only need tweaking to fit the different pupils.
He has said that he thinks I can, but doesn't make any promises.
c) Been panicking over the not having a job, not been sleeping, been worrying over it and now just want to accept it and enjoy the rest of my time off.
Dp thinks I'm backing down. What do you think?
