Montessori something....

I think that my frustration level is building. I don't want this current job if the temporary position is offered as a permanent position. You can't truly teach with Montessori philosophy when you're forced into nonsense and theme of the week.

Stupid workbooks. One page per day. I have a child that just doesn't get them. We need to work on rhyming words. Other children that need to work on basic sounds. Most of them need to explore numbers. Stupid workbooks so they can make progress. Make consistent progress talking to each other, getting help from the teachers just to read the picture understand the sound in the first place. Some of these children can't even write there their own name! There sense of accomplishment is in finishing a worksheet.

Just a random rant and rave. There is only so much time in the classroom and in life. Especially with the commute. I know what most of the schools near me are like though. I already decided that my real priority is to open my own school. I'm just not sure if I want to NOT accept any position, not remodel the kitchen (possibly indefinitely) in order to have one year to fully develop a functional business plan and location options. CA is expensive and you need to cover the cost of the real estate.

My first step is a complete mission statement. The second would be an employee manual that would help to match it. I also need the financial breakdown and break even points. Those are the steps that I can do at home.
