I have an exciting announcement!
This summer, I quit teaching! Things got really bad at my school. The administration gave us no support. The kids were wild, the parents worked against us. So many things went so terribly wrong. Out of 6 fifth grade teachers, 5 of us quit!
The only thing that went right was my STAAR scores. We managed an 82% pass rate! It was the highest the district had ever achieved by far, so I left on a good note.
So what am I doing now?
I am a newly minted process operator at my local Valero refinery. I run the equipment that makes a variety of products, like diesel and kerosene. I went in knowing nothing. I'm not sure how I even got this job, but I could not be more grateful that I did. I love my job, which is something I never felt as a teacher.
Please feel free to use anything and everything on this blog. I'll leave it up in case anyone wishes to use any resources.
I wish you all the luck in the word, teachers. Stay awesome!
