Those who have followed my writing know that I was having some trouble finding a satisfactory teaching job for the forthcoming year. Last week I was finally offered one, I accepted, and we began our teacher orientation and training for the year on Wednesday.
This is a very unique situation, and my travails in finding a job actually intersected with some of the recent difficulties of the school.
So I invite you continue reading as I explain about the school, why I wanted to come here (including passing up an opportunity for $20,000/year more), how I perceive the situation, and what I hope to accomplish by being here.
