I consider myself an easy-going guy. I'm generally in a good mood. But I've had a couple of episodes in the last week that make me wonder if I'm in the right profession.
Last Sunday, I was leaving church when I ran into a retired teacher in the parking lot. She asked me how the job was going, and I answered "26 days!" My response changed her mood. She said she was sad that a young (ha!) teacher was that disillusioned, and that I should get out of teaching. I thought she was wrong until...
Tonight, when my wife asked me why I left the gangster magnet school I had taught at for the last six years when I was so unhappy at my new school. I told her things should get better next year--I still believe that guidance departments haze new teachers by giving them crappy classes.
So was the old lady at church right?
