worst. decision-maker. ever
I have a problem with being indecisive. Well, I guess that's not true (see, I told you!), if I feel really strongly about something, it is not a problem. The issues lie when I don't really care. Or, I care, but don't know what to choose. For example, I needed a new car. There were two cars I was choosing between. They were so similar in so many ways. I ended up deciding by who could give me a better deal. It actually worked quite well-- playing the two dealerships against each other.
We all know about the choice I have to make regarding having a baby.
Yesterday, I was given a choice regarding my job. Currently, I teach 3rd grade. I was given the choice of moving to 1st or kindergarten. I picked 1st, because I've done it before. I was forced transferred to the school I am currently at this past school year because the previous school I was at was shrinking. There is a 1st grade opening at my old school. So, the question becomes: should I stay or should I go?
Here are my pros and cons:
Staying:
Pro:
Moving:
Pro:
What do you think I should do?

Here are my pros and cons:
Staying:
Pro:
- I've made better friends with my 3rd grade team in one year than I did in 4 years at the old school
- School has more money, more supplies, more things to make life as a teacher easier
- Could probably pick up more $60/hr. tutoring jobs from this clientele
- My cousin works there too, and sends her kids there, so I get to see them a lot
- If for some reason, another 3rd grade opens at my school, I can move back to it
- More money = more feeling of entitlement (I'm at the public school a famous pop-star would send her kids to, if she had custody and sent them to public when they are of age)
- Principal next year is unknown
- 1st grade team members unknown
- portable classroom
Moving:
Pro:
- I'd get to be back with some of my old friends
- Parents are more realistic and down to earth
- I LOVE the 1st grade team and know I work well with them
- A better classroom
- Not terribly fond of the principal
- More of my money spent out of pocket for student expenses
- Packing up everything into my car and moving AGAIN
- More needy kids
What do you think I should do?
