Description
Interesting collection for me. Autobiographical in nature, arising from the time I made the decision to switch careers from writer to full-time teacher. I was burned out and tired of the politics and resulting aggravation from a career that seemed to only bring criticism and lack of great financial rewards. I had a license to teach Social Studies earned years before. Why not switch careers! But, making the switch was another story. The change made my head spin. Couldn't get hired as a regular teacher; when I applied, schools looked at me, a middle aged writer and wouldn't accept me in any other role. School districts were looking for young teachers and not the old and bearded. How to break in then? I took a job a substitute teacher for little money, hoping to make contacts and land a regular Social Studies position. Took a job working in a suburban, Long Island, NY high school. The only problem with that, the writer in me would not disappear while the teacher in me never could rise from the depths.
The promotion ends in
