Argh.
Kristin, I feel your pain. Maybe not to the same extreme, but it's there.
Yesterday, at my meeting with my AP (who is actually now my principal, but that's going to take some getting used to) I was informed that my job has been "changed". Instead of getting the 7/8 grade class I was supposed to (because that's what the teacher I am replacing taught), I was bumped down to the all 6th grade team. All 6th graders. All the time. That's basically like teaching glorified elementary schoolers. I keep trying to think positively, I really do. But 6th graders... come on now.
Now I have to redo everything I was planning on doing with these kids... it's like a whole new world for me. Help. Help. Help.
And also, everything in the news is just so extremely depressing to me. I don't care what party lines you vote along, or what candidate you support... seeing our own soldiers beheaded, or seeing our own soldiers humiliate and degrade other human beings, is just terrifying and agonizing. It's hard to get my mind around the idea that it will never be any better - that humans have always been antagonistic and cruel to others who are different. It's just that now, we have more advanced ways of doing it. I mean, really, how depressing is that thought.
