I started my new job today! IT's only 2 1/2 hours long, but I love it! I'm a reading and math assistant in a local school district. Today I was with 4th and 5th graders. I can't believe all the tough stuff they are doing! my kids bring things home, but boy oh boy, a lot is expected out of them in class! I also got to sit in on "study island." It's a complete room full of mini-size lap top computers where the kids work on math at at their own pace. I think I need to go back to college to get a refresher course! No wonder my kids are looking at me funny when I don't know what they are talking about! I think i grew up in the stone age! lol. Looking forward to tomorrow!

Oh how exciting starting a new job, and it must be fun, working w/kids! 2.5 hours sounds just right, too! lol Not too much and yet you get out and make a difference. Keep up the great work!

I work in a school as well, and I love it. But you are right, so much is expected of these kids-more than I ever remember doing. Add on to that all of the organized sports and other obligations. Very overwhelming for some. Can't beat the work hours, though!
