DIT or RIF

Today went well with the kiddos. Much improved behavior. No clue what happened yesterday.

Depressing news: my other first grade team member (and theres only the 2 of us) found out he was RIF (reduction in force). I was SO surprised. Turns out our school disctrict cut 1st, 2nd, and 3rd year teachers. I know 4 other people who were RIF as well. I thought they would only cut 1st and maybe second year teachers. But not the case. Depressing. I thought at the most they would DIT (district initiated transfer) the 3rd year teachers. For the record: I have been a teacher for 3 and a half years. So half of a year saved me from loosing my job. Although I am still not safe. I feel SO nervous as to what might happen in the next few months. I am defintely still not "safe" by any means.

stress stress stress.

They should REALLY put more money in education. Otherwise its gona come back to bite people in the butt that kids aren't getting what they need when they are young.
