Curiosity

While I was out on Saturday, visiting my father in Connecticut, I received a phone call from an assistant principal with whom I interviewed earlier in the week.  She left a message; I called back and left a message.  No word.  The bottom line is I did not get yet another job.

What does it take for a school to hire me?  How can I break the barrier between the public and private school?  Is there really such a big difference between the two?  When I ask what I could have done to improve my chances to get hired, I've been told that I am a very strong candidate but did not possess the background to teach for the standardized tests.  However, I do much reading and the bottom line should be:  hire those who motivate.

So, here I am again wondering why I have no job.  More important, I am wondering if I will ever get a job teaching again.  This stinks feeling so low knowing there are some real bad teachers out there who don't really care (I've worked with some, I know) and one at home who works hard.  Hmmmmm.....
