Points to ponder:
• If your job offer was for a private school I can understand you waiting and not accepting the position. Most private schools do not pay their teachers well and that is why they normally do not hire the best teaching talent. I have heard the dedicated teacher theory and while it sounds good it just is not there for the most part.
• Most school districts prefer to hire a teacher with a bachelor’s degree over a master’s degree due to budgetary reasons (it just costs more). It normally is wiser to hire as a teacher with a bachelor’s degree and then finish your master’s after hiring into the school system. Being a teacher is a respectable career choice.
• Teachers work in a seniority based system. It would be wise to identify the district you would want to work in and then try to hire into that district as soon as possible. The seniority issue may help you down the road. As you probably know it may take fifteen years to top out.
• Being a Flight Attendant stop being a career years ago. Terrible pay, benefits, working conditions, retirement, and no future. Plus the skill set of an FA does not transfer over to other real life jobs. Most today take it because they do not have other options, love the road life, or do not want to be around their kids or spouse. I do not truly begrudge anyone as someone has to do it and I realize the same could be said for Wal-Mart.
• The annual salary of most FAs is comparable to a waitress at a medium priced restaurant. An inexpensive new car costs about $20,000 yet most FAs really can not afford one. The low salary could lead to other credit issues as one struggles with everyday life which may lead to credit problems. Hence my queen of the trailer court comments previously.
• Short people just get fat quicker.
• Please do not beat me with the bell. I am afraid of bells (along with ninja gnomes). Good luck!

OK---I've been waiting for a report...she said she had to decide the day she posted which was the 25th...so.....did she stay or did she go?????
My take on this---this job is a lifestyle you get used to but if there's something better where you get to sleep in your own bed every night and not sell the students their school supplies then I say run as fast as you can.....

I have been offered a 7 day vacation into the cornfield if I do not take my rude post away. I can't figure out how since it won't let me so I would like to apologize from the bottom of my evil gnome heart and I won't say words that moderators don't like anymore.
Dear Pitguy,
I would like to dedicate this song to you , by Buckcherry. It's called Im sorry and here's an excerpt.
I'm sorry i'm bad, i'm sorry i'm blue
I'm sorry about all the things I said to you
And I know I can't take it back
I love how you kiss, I love all your sounds
And baby the way you make my world go 'round
And I just wanted to say i'm sorry.
This time I think i'm to blame
It's harder to get through the days
We get older and blame turns to shame
'Cause everything inside it never comes out right
And when I see you cry it makes me wanna die.
I'm sorry i'm bad, i'm sorry i'm blue
I'm sorry about all the things I said to you
And I know I can't take it back
I love how you kiss, I love all your sounds
And baby the way you make my world go 'round
And I just wanted to say i'm sorry.
Every single day I think about how we came all this way
The sleepless nights and the tears you cried
It's never too late to make it right
Oh yeah Sorry!
love forever and ever as long as the sky is blue,
snn

I turned down one position on the 25th. It was hard to do but I just couldn't put down my wings. Truth be told, I kinda regret it. However, at the time, it just didn't feel right and I didn't have enough time to think it through. I'm still not sure about the other one. I have more time to think about it luckily. I'll probably stay for another year though, unless I get fed up one day and just quit. HaHa! Yes, I would have a back up before I would quit. Hey! I'm not a ditzy flight attendant (contrary to other people's opinions on here)!
Would that not be hilarious if I sold students supplies? OMG! "OK class, in case you didn't come prepared I have an exciting offer for you! You can purchase a pencil for only $2. That's right class! $2! Correct change only please! I don't have time to look for change! I have a whole class to teach and others may need supplies as well! I'm sorry Johnny, no I don't accept credit cards. Or, if you prefer to write with a pen, I have pens for sale for $3, and again correct change is always appreciated. Yes Susan I see the pen has an advertisement for Motel 6! If you don't like it don't look at it. They cut me a really good deal so I can offer pens in my class. No other teacher does this. In addition, we are also offering a special on notebook paper. You can purchase a whole pack of paper for just $7! Isn't that a great deal? Remember, you must give back anything you purchase in class before class is over. It is school policy. LOOK JOHNNIE I KNOW YOU PAID $10 FOR SUPPLIES BUT THE FEDERAL LAW REQUIRES THAT I COLLECT ALL PENS, PENCILS, AND PAPER SINCE THEY ARE NOT SAFE! THEY COULD BE USED AS PROJECTILES AFTER THE BELL RINGS AND IT'S NOT WORTH LOSING MY JOB OVER!"
Then I could walk through class with cheap a$$ trash bags every few minutes to collect "refuse" from kids so they don't leave their trash all over the floor and who knows, I could train some of my students to collect trash. They'll be future US Airways flight attendants in the making, that is if we're still around! 😉
Or maybe I could buy juice and water and let the students serve it to the class and collect money for it as a way to learn how to count! Then I could pocket the profit! Hehe! Hey, free labor! Not a bad idea, huh? I could even sell sodas, but they would go for a premium price because I know my students would pay big bucks for a soda! If that goes well I could also include snacks and toys and other a la carte items. Hey, what about charging them to go to the bathroom? That'll really teach them to hold it!
All of the parents, administrators, teachers and even some students will have a big problem with this but it's OK. I just need to train them and after a while it will be considered normal and I will be revolutionary in the a la carte education field! You'll see! All the other schools and teachers will be copying me!
OMG, this airline is lame and we are so going under! :down:

Pitguy, I thought you were typing a semi-intelligent post that actually made some sense until I read this part:
I knew it was too good to be true! You couldn't resist picking on us.
Bother way, the last time I weighed myself which was two days ago I was at 95lbs. I've been on this earth for 30+ years and I still haven't gotten fat. Shannon is a little thing too. I can't see her ever getting fat either. I guess we just have good genes. Later!

hahahahahahahahaahahaa.....
Excuse me Johnny, but I do believe you have had too much glue today. i'm going to have to ask you to surrender the glue. I'm going to ask you one more time. Fine. Have it your way. I'm calling your mom and you're going to be cut off from your Wii for a week.
Don't test me, son....
