Dear Teachers,

Happy National Teacher Day. You completely rock, at least those who rock completely rock, and you know who you are. I have been very, very impressed by the all the teachers here on Hatrack, and I want to say how wonderful you are and how grateful we (as Americans, in general) are for the education of the next generation. [Smile]

Thanks.

Hooray for all teachers!

Yesterday my cousin who has been talking for years about going to college and getting a degree but hasn't done anything called me to say she is registered, and is planning on becoming a secondary math teacher. [Smile]

I'm so proud of her and of all people who choose to go into such a demanding profession.

This is the first teacher's day where I've actually been teaching...though I'm still not getting paid for it. [Smile]

Next year!!

BTW, I have the job interview of my life tonight, for a job as a....teacher! [Big Grin]

Woohoo teachers!!!

Although, I can never figure out if I actually count among the ranks of teachers yet. Do teaching assistants count?

edited to add, Oh, and GOOD LUCK on your interview, Narnia!

I'm not a teacher yet, but I just sumbitted my application to the education department at my school. So, hopefully I will be thank-worthy in a couple of years!

Just as an update, I have my interview with the faculty of the Ed department today at 4 and I am supernervous.

I made the descision a week and a half ago to dye my hair slightly pink thinking it would be ok because I wasn't observing in the high schools anymore but not thinking about my interview that I would inevidably have when I applied. Oh, I hope they over look it!

But other than that, I just hope I don't babble or make a fool of myself. [Angst]

Good luck Irish! I hope you don't mind if I make the suggestion that you dye your hair a normal color before you go. I think it would look much more professional that way.

Well, I survived. Four of the five education professors were there, one is still out on maternity leave, and I had encountered 2 of them before in classes and other such places. They each asked me one question ranging from how I handled a stressful situation to how I felt in stituations with a lot of diversity to when was I time I had ever thought outside the box.

I even scored bonus points because I wrote my required freshman paper on why accountability and high-stakes testing is bad and should be reworked/removed. Apparently the entire education staff feels the same way and the professor I wrote the paper for (who is also an Ed Prof) let them all read it.

While it probably would have been smart to dye my hair back before the interview, I don'tthin it will hurt me. Transy is a small school and I went to see one of the professors last week to get some work and she saw my hair. I also told her that I waited till I stopped observing to dye it.

I can't wait till I get my results!
