Subject: RE: BS: scale of 1-100, how happy with your job
About as low as you can get!   I used to love my job, teaching students with Special Needs, but as the system has changed and I no longer work with specific students and the county and government have changed the funding so that there is very little for them anymore, all I seem to be doing is telling parents, 'Sorry, I can't do that anymore, no, I can't provide that anymore, no, he/she doesn't fit the criteria any more'. All I seem to be doing is relaying more and more bad news. When I do work directly with a student and see the difference I rate my job as 200% but pushing paper and getting slapped down over everything I try to do... well, I go to work, do my job and go home to my beautiful house. And.., as the govt stopped my pension access at 55 three years ago and are about to stop our pension access at 60, I will have to work until I'm 65... schools will have to have zimmer frame parks instead of car parks if they aren't careful!!!
