Even though I have already navigated who knows how many years of education about education, I decided it is time to follow in my good friend Chelsea's footsteps and have a little teaching blog. If nothing else, she will be amused, and my mom might like it too!
The first thing to address is the amount of years I have been going to school for my Master's Degree. I have been filling out applications for teaching jobs, and they all (well, all two of them so far) want to know what the years were that I have attended school for both my Bachelor's and Master's. The thing is, they overlap. Because I am in a 5 year Bachelor's/Master's program, I started taking my first education classes in the fall of my second year of college...so I was still very much in the Bachelor's period. So, do I list 2002-2006 as my Bachelor's years, and 2003-2007 as my Master's years? Will that make me look like I am not capable of finishing things in the normal number of years? I am guessing they will understand, but it's still a dilemma when actually filling out this one document upon which they will place judgment about my ability to teach in their school system. Applications in general kind of suck, since one serious typo (which you might not catch no matter how much you proofread) could sour the opinion of you as a candidate. AHH!

You are the COOLEST ever, my friend. I am definitely amused!! :D We're blog twins!!
I can't wait to read about your exploits! And I must say, your blog title is one of the best I've ever seen. Kudos. ;)
I ama fake teacher, but I am amused as well. Our problems come tracking kids down afterschool...like the day the school sent the girl home on a bus and gave us no note (so we had no clue where the kid was) as her father shows up for her....luckily, that house just had poor communication skills (grandma wrote the note, dad doesnt know).
Isnt it all hilarious?
Much love to you-yay time for new glasses!
