I had been posting to a journal on AOL and decided I wanted more.
Where do I start? I am the mother of five - two biologically and three from my wife. Yes I said wife. We have been married just shy of three months now. Being married to another woman is a sobering experience in many ways. We as a couple do not have the same protections or rights as a couple of opposite sexed partners. We find many brick walls that neither of us encounter when we were married to men. Yes, we were married to men. Another shocking answer to some.
I am a teacher. No I am not scouting - I teach my content area, nothing more, nothing less. I am like any other teacher, I just happen to go home to five children and a wife.
I have many opinions of the education field, many of which I cannot verbally announce for I would like to keep my job. I do my best to make positive changes whenever possible. There are too many children falling through the cracks and too many excuses for not doing what makes sense.
Tonight I am preparing, emotionally, for the next work week. I have been plaed into a new high school and have been informed I will be teaching 4 different subjects. No I do not get paid per subject. Two of the subjects I have never taught before, however I am certified to teach them. Not having taught them before I am quite nervous about taking them on. (One of them is an Advanced Placement Class) I do think I can handle it, however, I do not think it will be easy.
I am new to the blogging world, but feel the outlet may help me and others see things in a different light.
