This is my fourth year of teaching and I am finally starting to feel like I know what I am doing and everything just feels right. I am about to be tenured in my school district and now we are having all kinds of issues with the budget and they are talking about laying teachers off. Or school had a staff meeting Thursday morning and I found out that our district is possibly giving out 130 pink slips, come March 15th. I am so nervous, because I just bought a house. I keep thinking about what is going to happen if they get rid of class size reduction. I am hoping that I have been in the district long enough that I can keep my job in the district. I love the school that I am currently at and would love to stay there and continue working with the great staff that we have, but I think that is probably not much of a reality. I have a feeling they are going to layoff and then shift people around. So, even if I do get my job back, I will probably have a different grade, at a different school. I know that no matter where I go, I can make new friends, and work really hard to learn a new curriculum. Keep your fingers crossed for me. :)
