Opis

Interesting collection for me. Autobiographical in nature, arising from the time I made the decision to switch careers from writer to full-time teacher. I was burned out and tired of the politics and resulting aggravation from a career that seemed to only bring criticism and lack of great financial rewards. I had a license to teach Social Studies earned years before. Why not switch careers But, making the switch was another story. The change made my head spin. Couldn't get hired as a regular teacher; when I applied, schools looked at me, a middle aged writer and wouldn't accept me in any other role. School districts were looking for young teachers and not the old and bearded. How to break in then? I took a job a substitute teacher for little money, hoping to make contacts and land a regular Social Studies position. Took a job working in a suburban, Long Island, NY high school. The only problem with that, the writer in me would not disappear while the teacher in me never could rise from the depths.
