A day.

After school we got the news I had been expecting for some time now. They are, contemplating, meaning they are going to close our school. We will get transferred to other schools if there are openings. I feel bad for our students because they are closing our school basically the parents won't stand up and fight for them like the more affluent schools in our district even though they have way lower enrollment than us. I don't like that I probably won't know until May where I might be. I hope I don't end up getting split between schools. I also will most likely not get to teach the 7th grade accelerated students if I end up at a Junior High and I really don't have the desire to teach 7th or 8th general anymore. I wonder if I will get to move to the high school which would be my preferred choice. I really wonder where I will go and would like to make that decision sooner than later so I can prepare my move. I am not looking forward to all the conversations I will need to have with my students as they struggle to make sense of what is going to happen next year. I just want to teach and be there for my students but there are some days I feel like there are so many obstacles I just can't do what I need to.

Usually a day like would lead to a lot of whining on my part but I am to the point of just embracing what is happening and trying to make the best of the situation.
