Thanks everyone...

Thank you for all your comments on my last post....I am going from feeling fed up and disappointed one minute to angry and frustrated the next. I think the whole way they 'hired' me was a total joke in the first place. Perhaps if they had bothered to INTERVIEW me I would ahve had a chance to ASK questions and get ANSWERS and I would have known everything back then - but no - they didn't bother and I was left to scrape together information from friends and people I met who worked there....and all along I was told that having Sam was great and not an issue and he could come along with em so long as he was signed up for the classes.

I tried and tried to get answers at the beginning and you don't get a reply to your voicemails or emails for so long it was ridiculous.

And now I'm wondering who they can find to run the class because its so badly paid and badly run that the only people interested were Moms with little ones at home - and because there are two classes being run they will HAVE to find someone with a 4 year old (one class is 3 - 4 years and one class is 4 - 5 years) so their child can sign up for both classes...and these classes are not cheap and all they are offering is a discount on the class!!!!! OMG!!!! Thats over $400 just until Christmas!!!! And then again after Christmas and again after Easter!!!

Who is going to run this class???????? Its crazy and the money they pay is not taxed so you ahve to pay your own tax out of it too!!!!!

I wasn't doing it for the money - I was doing it because I thought it would be a fun little 'hobby' for me - something I could do with Sam, something to give our weeks structure once Abby is at school......but most people will be doing it for PAY yet there won't be much pay anyway - and as its all the way out here they have to find someone willing to drive out here- which means it needs to be someone local really....

If they had INTERVIEWED me and given me the chance to ask questions and speak to them then maybe this mess would have been sorted out properly to begin with GRRRRRRR

So fed up :(

I am no longer going to be a preschool teacher :(

They got back to me today and have said that I can no longer take Sam with me to classes. The pay is so useless and we live in the middle of nowhere, so childcare for him is impossible and the whole point was that I was told this was ideal because Sam could come with me (he joins in the classes just like the other children)

I am so disappointed and so frustrated - and the girl who was going to be my assist was also going to take her young daughter with her (who also sits and joins in just like the other children)

And what makes me sadder is this afternoon whle out buying school supplies, I stocked up with big glue sticks and pens and crayons and scissors for the preschoolers to use....I ahve put my heart and soul into designing a wonderful curriculum for a preschool class and a pre-K class that would make the most of living in a rural area.....and now its all been for nothing and I feel like I have been mislead and conned the whole way along.

The way preschool education is run by this county is DREADFUL. I was hoping to make a small change to 40 children in this area and now I won't........I am so so disappointed.
