Job 33:28

Let's try something different

I have decided not to renew my contract for my current position. After much consideration, I have come to the conclusion that when you have a job that makes you feel sick to your stomach every day—even in the less stressful part of the day—you need to look for a new job.

I'm not sure what is next.  For sure a different school, a different position, maybe a different district or certification.  Maybe I'll stop teaching all together- maybe I'll substitute for a while just to see what's next.

Just now like every other teacher- I'm just surviving- not thriving.


Yesterday I wrote what I wanted to say in a resignation letter.  Then I asked ChatGPT what it thought.  ChatGPT said, "Slow your roll, keep it classy, take out that whole middle part."  (I'm paraphrasing)  So I did, and I sent my letter, and I felt a little sad, but there is more to be seen.
