School and precarious
now double or triple the work I have found it to be called, quite by accident, for the teaching of English in high school. Without question before this summer, almost by accident, at the insistence of Friends (English is my second language and I feel anything but ...), I was prepared to receive the chair (of course on a provisional basis), despite my score lowest on the list. This is because in Rome the SISS is not English, because the school is not the most prestigious (5-6 km out from the ring), because it is only 4 hours a week, because my goddess of luck every now and then remember me ... The fact is that I am English teacher in a technical institute, "until the appointment of the beneficiary." That is, until who knows when. That is the inability to organize something for the medium term (I mean more than a couple of weeks), not to mention the long term ... Imagine that mega teaching will come out ... Especially since, convened in late November, are the first teacher of English in class and even the school. There are two months that the girls (it is a holiday, so no boys) enter or leave two hours earlier. The language lab is down until further notice (read indefinitely). I will possible, students are lively and willing: these few hours to have revealed to me a great passion for teaching.
summary: 4 hours per week, I say no more than 350-400 euro per month (for get one month ...), in a school outside of Rome, without decent tools (I have to bring it home stereo, I do not even the textbook), with the sword of Damocles over the head of a new meeting (where I'll be almost certainly bypassed)
... Personally for me it just fine, because I get bored doing the same job every day. A little half salary to work 4 hours a week and come to a job that I love. The problem is for teachers who do this as one job. That 's where I really touched with the hand precarious ...
Among the meetings were, of course, other teachings. E 'come an English teacher of 39 years, with two dependent children, high enough in rank, as substitutes for about 8 years ago. Just that, an unfortunate intersection of circumstances, it was found to "smooth" a good chair and has had to hope to take 4-5 hours for the evening course (imagine how easy it is to teach an evening course in a township
outside Rome ...). In the running for the "prestigious" place was also a colleague, more or less the same age, but lower on the list: he has just left another job and entered into the vortex of the alternate "only" a few years.
between the two litigants (in reality the two are familiar from other competitions and are on good terms: joint pain halved), for a change, the third has in the guise of a third teacher, apparently more or less the same age, higher up in ranking, which he called just before the deadline for calling the meeting to say he was coming. ;
Result: first the poor teacher has had to complain to the secretary because the third candidate had arrived late (apart from the fact that he has not even said goodbye and apologized to none). Alas, in vain.
8 years as well. At the mercy of good rules and quirks of fate, the more or less flexibility of a secretariat.
This is the precarious ...
