I am TIRED!  Not a bad day though - today I went to the Orientation for my Master's program!  I am really excited about it all - enough that I am actually thinking about applying for another job.  There is a current opening on Florida Virtual School for an AP U.S. History teacher.  It would be the same pay - but more flexible hours.  I have not previously been interested in anything like this being that I like being with the students.  BUT (notice the big but :P) more flexible hours could allow me to get my Masters done more quickly which could make a world of difference.  Also, even though it is the same pay - it would be for teacher one subject instead of 6!  I don't know how many students and it is likely to be a similar amount, but there would be a LOT less preparation to teach 160 one subject than to teach them 6 different ones.

I feel kind of selfish even considering applying.  But increasingly I am wondering if I should....

I could always try to get back into the district - I am sure it would depend on things at the time. And there would be no guarantee of getting back into LHS. I am thinking I might be able to pull of a leave of absence for a couple of years rather than outright leaving which would at least make it easier to go back (but I am not positive on if that would work.)

And I would definitely miss yearbook :( And would give up the reputation I have built up at LHS...with the trade off of achieving my Master's which would definitely be a good thing in the long run..

I would love to talk to Shelby and see what she has to say about the experience. That would definitely help!
