Pink Friday

So today was 'Pink Friday' where teachers and educators all over CA wore pink to protest the $8 billion dollar cut to education and the 26,000 teachers getting pink slipped this week! :( Pretty darn depressing... So many people are being affected by this horrible deficit and economy! Today at the lunch table in the teachers lounge, and all this week, it has been really grim. Basically all young and new teachers are seriously looking at not having a job this fall. Its all a seniority/bumping game, if you have been teaching basically less than 10 years then you may very well get bumped by a more experienced teacher who got cut from their position. Administrators and counselors are also being bumped back down to the classroom! :(

Needless to say...it's not looking too bright for brand new teachers like me. :/ I might be subbing for a loooooong time! ....sigh.... Just gotta stay positive!!!
