Don't wait, and don't butter. Book it. If he wants to go, great, if not, there is always wine country. Oh, is there enough to do wine country in Napa, maybe a beach day, and end up at Disneyland? Maybe that can be a compromise? But, if you have your heart set on Disney, and you can afford it, go. Just go.
The convertible ones aren't cheap.but Camaros arent that expensive.. are they?
Id youd ask for a ferrari or a high end BMW then THAT would be expensive
I guess it depends. Do you think it's the most valuable way of spending your time? Is there a direct benefit to you going that would better help you to teach? Or are you better off taking time now because you'll have no free time once school starts? Is there another faculty member who might benefit more from it than you would? Are you already technically-savvy, or do you not even think about how you can incorporate technology into your classes?Ok kids, I have a conundrum for you. I got an email from my principal looking for teacher to attend a 2 day technology training at the start of August. I kind of want to go because it looks interesting but I'm unsure if I want to give up 2 full summer days for it. I have already spent the last two days working on curriculum for the new class I have to teach this year and there is still a lot more to do for that......What to do?

Maybe the answers to those questions will help you decide.
Blah! Me<<<<<<< that should be stipended. We do. We have new hire committees and some curriculum teams that meet and they get a lump sum stipended. I would not encourage working for free, teachers and support staff do enough of that as it is. Again me, if they wish to have a training like that and don't want to pay during the summer they should sign staff up for inservice type trainings during the school year and hire a substitute for the days staff is attending. Our teachers union would have our heads if we tried to do this, rightfully so IMO.
And I agree there should be some sort of stipend, but yet I'm still thinking about it. I'll decide tomorrow, after all tomorrow is another day!
Time to go check my lasagna. *takes deep breath*
I have it out on the grill. Never did this before. We could be having McDonald's for dinner.
Still on the Grill. So far it is surviving. I refuse to heat the house up with the oven.
I'm so sorry that people come and trash your beautiful country. As I have said before, we felt so welcome in your country, and enjoyed the entertainers at the restaurant we visited. Great food and drinks. Plus the kindness we felt we are planning to come back.
You are only young once, go for the extra vacation....or you are building your career, work hard to reap rewards. I suggest you think about the alternatives, and do what works for you...relaxation, or goals. Remember life is short, I can't give you any advice, but go with your heart. Good luck on your decision.Ok kids, I have a conundrum for you. I got an email from my principal looking for teacher to attend a 2 day technology training at the start of August.
