What in the actual, ever-living FUCK just happened?? (read tags and maybe tell me if I did the right thing or not bc I’m panicking???)
#the principal of the school i work at just offered me the English teacher position for 7th and 8th grade#even though i don't have a teaching license nor a degree in educaiton??#like yeah i have a BA in English but that doesn't mean i know how to teach it#i've been working with kids ever since 2012#but the MAJORITY of my experience is with K-6th#and honestly i feel most comfortable with elementary (K-3)#i do have experience with 7th/8th graders but it's extremely limited#and i have EXTREMELY limited experience being a lead teacher#obv bc i don't have a teaching license#i've only substituted as a lead teacher like 3 or 4 times EVER#and i was a lead teacher this summer but it was for the child care program#so there was no curriculum to follow#and it was for 1st/2nd grade#so it's a HUGE difference#on one hand taking that position as the 7th/8th english teacher would give me a lot of experience teaching english#and would look good on my resume#especially since i'm strongly considering getting a MA in English#but on the other hand i feel like i don't have enough background or experience#to really be able to give those kids the best learning experience possible#and i really am more comfortable with elementary-aged kids than middle school#idk did i make the right decision by turning the offer down??????#pls talk to me in the replies or private message me or inbox me#and tell me your thoughts#bc i'm honestly panicking right now#i don't know if i just self-sabotaged by turning it down without more consideration#aaah idk idk idk#also i'd appreciate if you don't reblog this#delete later
