So you want to be a Joplin R-8 kindergarten teacher
In the time it takes to read the job description for the newly-opened kindergarten teacher at Columbia Elementary School, five more teachers have probably resigned:
It's funny about the attendance policy listed in the listing. Why you may ask? Because it doesn't take in account the already 10-15 days you will be out of the classroom for "professional development". My child's 2nd grade teacher was great, the days they were there. They mussed over a calendar month for PD. When I worked for this dump, teachers were gone all the time for wasteful PD. THEY WINDER WHY THERE IS SUCH A SHORTAGE OF SUBS.
At this point, just breathing is probably enough of a qualification.

ReplyDeleteEvidently. Maybe that's why we have so many teachers who keep being arrested.
