Past and Future
Submitted by My Garden Spot Blog
When I became a teacher, I knew I had absolutely no, and I mean NO interest in ever becoming a principal or assistant principal. They didn’t spend nearly enough time with kids, and for the most part, that seemed to affect their personalities.. and not to the better.
When I retired, I made a similar decision about any possible administrative careers I might qualify for, not that there were many. But, most of them would have required me to deal with grown ups acting like children. I don’t mind it when it’s children acting childishly, but grownups make my eyes cross and mutter angry imprecations under my breath. And I don’t need that.
At any rate, it would be a moot point, as I am realistic about the fact that ONE, I’m 48. Two, I’m usually using at least one cane, sometimes two and sometimes a wheelchair. Three, I’m not cute. Not gonna be hired, you see.
I wouldn’t mind some “at home” remote tasks though. The work would be fine, not as much fun as tutoring, but maybe more stable.
