I took some time, relaxed, checked my email and had a cup of tea. I sat down to evaluate how I could make the situation better and this is what I came up with: In a two week period, some days are bad, others are heaven (one lesson and the rest either free periods or study hall supervision). The good make the bad bearable. Overall, I teach three different sections of a 7th grade science class, one 9th grade science and one 10th grade science. I have two sections of 8th grade geography and one 11th grade drama class. That's 5 preps, which is not too bad, it just means I have to stay organized and well-planned!! On the days that I teach drama, I have study hall supervision or free periods, so how can I really complain that they want me to teach drama?? Moving back and forth between two buildings won't be too bad - especially if I set myself up so that I have everything I need in the department offices. and, the 12 year "form" shouldn't be too bad either... They are old enough that they can lead the Catholic prayers, themselves, and I can add in other character building (non-denominational) type stuff.
