Job Hunting

Tomorrow is my first day back doing supply work for the year. Am only booked to work three hours though. And not sure what year level other than it’s in the junior school. Hope it stays that way and they don’t change their minds and give me an upper grade. Looking forward to making some (very little though) money again, too many bills over the holidays with no income has not been fun. Although not really looking forward to going back to work as a relief teacher. This is my forth year and in all honesty I am starting to hate it. I have contacted the district offices and sent my resumes to every school in the area but have had no luck. I want to have my own class and be considered a ‘real’ teacher not just a glorified babysitter who spends most my day dealing with unruly attitudes and not getting to actually do much real teaching because I am not the ‘normal’ teacher. Unfortunately these two articles sum up my position perfectly: http://www.theteachersareblowingtheirwhistles.com/thecontractwork.htm and http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/story/0,,26638206-3102,00.html
On a positive note though I only have two more classes to complete and my Master degree will be all finished! On the 11th of July I will be submitting my last ever assignment…not that I’m counting down lol But even with someone studying their Master degree you would think that is someone schools would want to hire. Clearly not. I can only hope that once I finish the Masters it’ll give be a better chance at getting a full time job. Sadly I doubt it will.
