So, I'm taking an AQ course (additional qualification for all you non-teachers out there) in Kindergarten education. My reasoning for taking said course was a) Drew is entering kindergarten in the fall, thought it would be of extra interest for me and 2) with the implementation of the full-day learning program in Ontario, there will be more jobs in kindergarten in the next 5 years.....wow, I'm so smart, eh??
What I didn't take into consideration when deciding to shell out the 700$ for this course was that my children do not sleep, therefore, I have no time to work on this $%$&$ course. I have resorted to having my husband come along to chapters with the kids in the mornings (he works in the PM) and I take off to starbucks (attached to chapters) for a few hours of high speed internet work (the course in web-based).
This course has induced a lot of stress into my life, of which I do not deal well with. My husband is pissed that I'm taking it, because he no longer has time for the work that he needs to do on the farm. I also don't think it will help me get a job. I have applied for more than 50 teaching jobs in the past few months and have had, count them, NO INTERVIEWS!!!
So, let's sum this up.....I spent a fortune on a course that has created a "hell" for me this month, made me miserable around my children and husband and will probably just result in me supply teaching again this year. Awesome. Money well spent.
