Our local school board pulled a fast one on the community. A big article in the newspaper announced they got a grant and will resume teaching ESL. So we called all the people who wanted to take classes with us and told them to call the school district, because it was to their advantage.
I was disappointed, but decided early on to let the Lord work it out---or not. Whatever He chose. Well, yesterday the man who would teach Intermediate/Advanced, as part of our team, called to say the school district has changed it's mind. They will not accept everyone, and are not offering as many classes as they had announced.
So the phone has been ringing a lot, as people discover they need to sign up with us after all. At least the school is cooperating with us by giving out our flyers to the students they turn away.
So I'm teaching Beginning ESL next week after all. Yikes! Good thing I prepared some lesson plans ahead of time. Back to the books!
