Dana I understand how you are feeling right now but please dont give up. The public school systems need GOOD teachers and I can tell just by how determined you are your one of the GOOD ones.. There are so many teachers in these school systems now that dont need to be there.. So please dont give up your dreams because of a few dumbies.... You will f ind that teaching job that you so deserve...

Here is a little story
My youngest was a seizure baby and toddler.. The meds she was on slowed her down and she is a struggler in school.. We had an awsome Kindergarten teacher .. Then we got into First grade and OMG i cried everyday because the teacher was awful and not able to teach a child that has some struggles.To this day I dont think she needs to be teaching.. This year We have had the Most wonderful 2nd grade teacher.. Mrs. Emily Kempker is a teacher that I will always remember. My miss Melaney has excelled in school this year because of this one GREAT teacher..

Dana that is why I myself as a mother that has experienced a wonderful and great teacher is telling you PLEASE dont give up teaching.. We need teachers like you in the school systems..

Any way dear that is just my feelings . So dont give up .. fight for what you want.. Teachers like you are few and hard to come by..
