So, I got a new job at an A school in the same district/borough.
The school I teach in is a renewal school, and is 15th of the worse schools in New York State. Now, somehow I managed to get an effective for my teacher rating, and my school was merging with another school that is in the building (the school it was merging with was renewal for violence and academics). Anyways, this girl I talk to in my class said her school was highering for Special Education teachers. So I sent in my resume, went on the interview and got the job on the spot. I'm sooooo excited.
I feel bad leaving my students, but this school has way more resources. Also since it is the same district I think I'll sorta be working with the same population just way better managed. My school was pretty dangerous. A few times, kids from other schools would come in and try to start fights with my students. And there was no dean. I'd literally have 15 y/os who are like 6 feet tall hiding behind me. While I tough talk some grown looking man who's a student at another school telling him if he touches a hair on me he'd be in jail with the utmost quickness.
Anyways, I really do feel bad. I'm getting my Masters for free and feel pretty strongly about giving back to the community. But damn there needed to be a Dean in there because sometimes it was way too hot to have the door locked and I just hated how random fucking people could just walk in and harass or try and attack my students, there was no damn security.
Anyways, I am really happy and think I can learn a ton at this new school. Also, there's technology. Hell yeah.
