Good news and bad news:
Bad news: Well, I didn't get the job. Apparently someone who applied already had some 'in the classroom' experience. Which, I said I have none. Thinking about it afterward I could have made a good argument about that. Part of my teaching style with my daughter is making everywhere we go 'her classroom'. I try to never let an opportunity to learn pass us up. Not to mention the multitude of hours I have logged in the special ed classrooms at her side for three years.
Now on the other hand:
Good news: I didn't find out until I was already there that the MY hours would have begun at 8:30 am. Which is fine for me, I am usually up at 5-6 am every day. But for Maggie it would have disturbed her morning routine. Her bus doesn't come here until 8:30-8:45. She really enjoys taking the bus and I would have to find somewhere for Joe to go before this 8:30 am hour.
So, timewise, it was just not a good fit. I would have taken it, if it had been offered though.
Now I have some interview experience under my belt. I will be ready for the next one. Cause I will tell you another thing, I was REALLY nervous. I am sure it showed a little, but I hope not too much.
