noisy school

Sometimes I wish I was so wealthy I would never have to work again. I would have fun gardening, traveling, cooking, sewing, shopping for shoes and dresses, having dinner parties, improving the house Tom and I would own, etc.

Days when I have a noisy school to deal with reinforce this desire. Today I was at a noisy school with kids who have the odds stacked against them (poor families who don't seem to value education, societal expectations of failure, etc) and don't seem to understand someone wanting to help. It frustrates me to see such situations. Sometimes I think teaching would be incredibly frustrating and I don't know if I have any interest in actually devoting my life to such a field. But other times it's fun and I have a positive experience.

Whatever, it'll be a few years until there is a real need for teachers in this area so until then I'll keep subbing and possibly find a better job in the meantime.
