Post: My choice: teach library too, or be half-time

Posted by Confus Ed. in WA on 5/08/08

    In a perfect world, we'd all be full-time music teachers!!
    But...

    Our music program is going back to half-time next year, and
    to maintain my full-time contract they want to make me a
    half-time librarian too. I have no qualifications for this
    nor a huge desire to do it.

    My other choice is to opt to be half-time. This would be my
    choice; the district can't push me to do this of course.

    My wife and I are planning to start our family soon, so
    half-time would actually be kind of nice since we could
    split at-home duties. BUT I drop down the totem pole and
    later in my career it would mean having to reapply for any
    full-time positions.

    What do y'all think? Job safety and more hassle getting
    time off to be with a child, or time off but less safe
    future prospects? Anyone do half library? Is it fun?
