I can’t write anything! Ah!
That’s not entirely true. I’ve been writing a lot. I’m working on something that is turning out to be huge. In the meantime, I’ve been neglecting this website.
I’ve been searching for jobs for the past several months. It’s been a daunting, thought-provoking task to say the least. This is what I’ve been writing about. I have accepted a teaching position at Winslow High School. I’ll be teaching upper-level English and a few honors English classes. I’m not happy about the 40 minute commute, but I will be happy to stick around Flagstaff. Apparently two other teachers make this commute and I could get in on a carpool scenario.
I am planning on jump-starting this site again. Now that I’ve got a job, I can stop thinking about it and dedicate more of my energy to this site again. I will write a little something here every day to bring back my small audience of loyal readers….so stay tuned.
If anyone has any insider knowledge of Winslow and what it might be like to teach there, please don’t hesitate to enlighten me.

Congrats! I’m glad to hear you’re still teaching and going to be around Flagstaff.

Glad to hear the search is over and you accepted the position. I’m sure you’ll turn the school on it’s head and open some minds like a great (but horrible) 80s movie.

So teaching high school. So I take it you got your certification? And I take it that you fall under the “No Child Left behind” bull-shit requirements to teach this class. It is too bad that you couldn’t find something local to Flagstaff so that you didn’t have to commute and didn’t have to leave the community. Wouldn’t it be benificial to live close to where you work then? So that you didn’t have to use foriegn oil and use only local products. Anyways, congradulations on the job and get the students to think differently.

I have never met a teacher, ever, who supports NCLB. It will be interesting.
I will be able to commute with some other people, so the gas won’t be too bad. The school is paying for my certification classes.
