Well, I loved my job for the last two years.  This year it's, well, let's put it this way.  I'm counting the days until the school year's out. I leave home at 6:30 am. I get to work at 7am.  School lets out at just before 3pm.  After that (Monday through Thursday) I teach in the extended day program from 3 to 5.  I get home around 5:30.  Stuck in there someplace is a 25 minute lunch.  So the hours aren't much, all things considered.  I do get paid extra for the extended day program--$21 an hour.  Then of course a pile of stuff comes home with me each day.  Papers, grade book, folder games to make, whatever.  Last year I had the sweetest kids you can imagine.  This year I have the complete opposite. I do, however, have the consolation that it will end in 3 1/2 weeks.

So I guess it all depends!
