nah I'm lucky. I will enjoy my bigger classes, probably- it will be a challenge. They've given me very good classes, because they like me, and aside from now not having a bilingual aide to help me with my review classes (which inevitably have students in them who do not speak English) I'll be fine. I'm going to try to find volunteers who will work with me for free who are bilingual. I've already put in the paperwork on that :-) And heck- I'd like some extra time off if they make teachers take some free time. I'm FOR that. Nor will salary reductions hurt me- my husband thinks of my job as charity work as it is, so he really doesn't care what I'm making. Though I will say it's nice to be able to test out Kaiser on my medical plan without screwing up my husband's premium plan (just in case we don't like Kaiser). I hope life for you is going well? My oldest is off to UC Davis as a junior. The junior college saved us about 42 thousand dollars (thank you very much). My son will be a senior, and worked all summer at our local library. He wants to be an archivist, so it was a great experience for him. My youngest continues to mature as an artist, and we are putting some of her art out to greeting card companies on the advice of a friend who works in the business, and who thinks my daughter's work would sell :-) I have to say, life is good. I wish it were better for everyone else, but eventually it will be better for everyone.
