Yes, this is how I feel about tomorrow.

I’m to the point.

Yes, at the beginning of the year I wasn’t, but now I am.

I like teaching- no, really…I do. [private]What I don’t like is documenting my butt off b/c some little twit is too lazy to complete assignments or take advantage of grade recovery opportunities. So, you wonder- or you don’t, whatever-what point am I to? I am ready to no longer teach at the high school level. Yes, I know it will eventually reach the college level, but it isn’t there yet. RIDICULOUS! Personal accountability is swirling down the toilet right along with education. Hours on the phone with parents, taking time away from family and things I want and need to do! Did I reach all the parents- oh no, not even close. I’m blogging now in order to relieve the immense frustration that has been building over the last 5 hours.

I’ve looked at PhD programs. I will have to complete 33 hours and read fluently in another language. I’m willing. Able? That’s another story. Our current location prevents me from embarking on that journey…well, that and the giant check I would have to write. I don’t know how much I could do correspondence. No, I’m not talking on-line university…I would love a program that let you attend classes every few weeks and operated much like an independent study. Similar to my MA program. That would work well. I haven’t given up hope. There is something out there and I intend to find it. [/private]
