The last few weeks have been devoted to drafting my teaching schedule ready for next term. Children will go back to school in September. Adults will want to keep fit in time for winter, to prepare for the early dark days ahead.
I came across an issue, which has been hounding me for the last year. To take a job simply because it paid the bills. Last year, I didn't have much of a choice. I resigned from my boring
8-6 job and had to take all the teaching jobs available at that time. Although it was fun and I love the kids, there was a voice at the back of my head saying I was being treated unfairly.
This year, I am a bit more courageous. Probably more discerning with the workload I take on board. However, it means if I get too picky, I run the risk of losing out on some assignments for the whole term. Ergo, less money.
Money or principle? Not so easy sometimes. But I always look at the brighter side of life - once you close a door, a window opens.
