Prayer for Economic Provision

The fact that you didn't take five courses over two years when you easily(?) could have means your heart wasn't in it. You would have made a way if you really wanted to.

Not a criticism, as I'm mostly out of teaching myself - it's a thankless job.

Best wishes and prayers for your next chapter.

When is there time to take college courses during the school year? I take the job home every night and weekend. I took one last Summer. Another factor is the general knowledge exam which includes algebra. I have been taking part-time refresher courses in algebra so I can pass a test to be a history teacher. I failed it once, and it is dollars a pop. I assure you, I have killed myself trying.

I got a masters in English while teaching, but I didn't have any kids at the time. Something always has to give somewhere. I'm definitely not trying to criticize you as the demands on teachers are way more than they should be.

When I got my Masters, I was only a teacher's aid/para-professional. I took no work home. Yes, you are so right. They always pile more and more on the teachers. It's hard being married with 2 kids.
