Well here I am again on the repeat cycle. Monday I came home to a lovely letter from the state of Michigan...yeah you know where this is going already don't you? Yup. Denied once again for my much sought after teaching license. I spent the last two days marinating on the letter. Also that $210 that went down the drain. Also the much anticipated launch date to our apartment. Also the fact that daycare is expensive. Also the fact that I might be stuck at full time when I really wanted that halftime position. Lots of thoughts.
I called my favorite education representative this morning to discuss options. He does. Not. Want. To. Budge.
The strange thing is that he said he agreed with me on all my points I brought up. Yes I have my Masters. Yes it would be weird to enroll into a MI Masters program. Yes he can see that going back to NYC to teach an additional 3 years is a tall order.
So I am stuck in limbo. He has no advice for me. And he wont grant me any bit of grace. So here I sit, stuck.
Suggestions welcomed because I am out of them...
and wondering, is working at the level that I am now worth it?

Perhaps contact your state legislature could help, call your local senator or representative.
I'm so sorry laura! Wanna call me on your next day home? Saturday? Cant wait to see you at christmas
I'm really sorry about your license issue. that really sucks. -____-
I wonder if Chicago is going to be hard like that when I try to switch over.
Have you looked into non profit adult ESL education type of work? or community college ESL?
I work part time at a non profit organization to teach Chinese ESL students. They didn't require me that I have an IL teaching license...they were fine with my NY one.
Just a thought.
