It's real

Or at least, I think it's real.

I finished up my paperwork today.

I went to my school and met with some of the administrative staff, and saw some of the campus.

I looked at my classroom (A104) and got the key. I received a teacher's handbook. I got a school lanyard for my official school badge. I picked up my textbook and some other stuff, and brought them home to look over. I'll meet with the science department head tomorrow to discuss curriculum and standards and lesson plans and other fun stuff.

I'm meeting my students tomorrow, and will be going through the day with the current sub, so as to have a helper to answer questions, etc., on my first day.

I am SO EXCITED. No joke.

By the way, I have not altered my stance on public education, but this [failing] socialist burden is not going away any time soon (I'm sorry to say), and as a taxpayer, don't you rest more easily knowing that I make it my job to let at least some fraction of your tax money do its job? Because ultimately, I don't really work for the school district. Ultimately, I (along with the entire school district) work for YOU, the taxpayers who are being forced to subsidize the education of other people's brats. Be assured that I consider myself accountable.
