Google found yours for me. Thanks. The photo brought me to your blog and I read a bit of your story.

And as I mentioned there ...Yeah the bad days suck. And as I mentioned there are pros to teaching.<br /><br />I'm at a point, however, that I would warn anyone away from teaching--they system is very different even from the system we graduated from. It keeps moving away from student accountability to placing ALL responsibility for learning and student success (which is measured by standardized tests) ONLY on the teacher.<br /><br />And don't get me started on the role of parents. <br /><br />All that said, if you really want to teach I'd say give it a go...you can always go back to engineering or something else if you hate it! And all the badness aside, summertime sure is nice ;-).Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15002865042562964799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4800826499000551444.post-56298238447190519542010-04-13T18:56:47.107-05:002010-04-13T18:56:47.107-05:00Awww, bad days are no fun!
