PART OF MY UPCOMING AMERICAN GANGSTER SERIES
Unstable Stability
I left the realm of Staples and part-time work for the the education field. I love teaching because it is fulfilling and a never-ending sequence of failure, improvement and self-awareness. The sad part about my profession is that now-more than ever, it is less stable than my days as a sales associate at Staples. Education funding is pretty crumby and seems to be going in the tanks (if you follow the political spectrum) and the thought of being unemployed often crosses my mind.
It concerns me for two reason. The financial standpoint is obvious, but I also think a well intentioned good teacher would be taken out of the classroom. I know it’s a selfish thought to have, but I often think I’m the best teacher for my students. Sometimes I think an education without me isn’t the education they deserve or the education I strive for them to have. Just some random thought after watching the unbalance debt/ceiling plan pass The House of Representatives.
