Not to bust your chops, but there are probably 10,000 highly
effective ELA teachers with over 10 years experience looking
to land in one of the district 26 schools in Queens. It may
happen ... but your chances are pretty slim.

Considering it's only December ... shouldn't you be focusing
on your class instead of daydreaming of landing your dream job
in Queens???

Be happy you have a teaching job, and remember why you decided
to teach ... to make a difference in the lives of inner city
youths.
