Yes I am a Bitter Betty. Like most teachers I don't get the respect and praise that I disserve because most people (teachers and my mother included) believe that I'm not a real teacher...riiightt.
But once every 3 years or so someone notices that I do a good job and graces me with a compliment.
To build up the compliment I digress to some background information. Now one of the best perks of my job is the shopping. I love picking out books and spending the districts money on them. I am the biggest bargain hunter when it comes to books, clothes not so much. I don't pay for library process because it's a waste of money especially with our new system it might take all of 60 seconds to put the book into the computer. Also when I started this job I had to take it from being a 5/6 library to a 6/7/8 library. Not to mention bringing the average book per student from 7 to 10+. It was a lot of work.
So when a fellow teacher tells me that she hasn't been to the young adult section of her public library in a long time because she gets books from our library instead and its all because of the work that I've done I can't help but feel a little glow of happiness about it. Someone actually paid some attention around here.
