For portuguese teachers
 

Dear Portuguese colleagues:

I just want to say � for those of you that, like me, are waiting to know what their future will be like next 4 years � good luck! May this day � or tomorrow -  be a day to remember! I will be teaching close to home and my baby girl � hopefully!

Greetings from sunny North!

This message was only meant to Portuguese teachers because they understand it. In fact, most of us - young ones and not so young ones - are about to know where we �ll be placed next four years.
Our government is about to let us know what our schools will be. Today or tomorrow. I �m not desperate because I know I �ll have a place to work near home. However, can you imagine how many of my fellow-colleages aren �t as lucky as me? They may or may not have a place to work and if they do sometimes it is far away from home and they won �t earn enough to support themselves and their families...
What I wanted to do was to give a bit of hope and send good vibes to my fellow-colleages...!

Thank you, you �re very kind!
 I �ve been teaching for 12 years and I �ve lived almost everywhere in my country, north to south!
Now I �ll be teaching near home - I just don �t know exactly what school - that �s what I �m waiting to know!

Hello colleagues,
 
I  am feeling sadness with your narratives. Fortunately, here In BRAZIL, I am  a permanet teacher. I teach in public schools, my chief is the State Government. I have two functions( each one with 20 hours) I have  free health service for me and my family, 13th salary,  holidays 1/3 payment in January,and I  go on holidays for 45 days in a year .My classes are permanents, years post years. Our governor is Roberto Requi�o, an excellent governant. Thanks God I was happy and I did not know.
 
God bless all of you.
Hugs from Brazil,
Rosangella

Hi Ana!!
 
I understand you very well!! I have been in the same school for 10 year. - I �ve moved to this city where I live in now because I knew it was very difficult to get closer to where I lived before . But I feel the anxiety of my colleagues at this time. After 3 years toghether we feel very close. Smile
As you, I just hope every one gets closer to home. I will try my best to receive my new colleagues and make them them feel at home! Because sometimes it �s really difficult.
Good luck to you all, also from the north of Portugal- Famalic�o
 
Best wishes

Good luck to you all.  I �m not sure what �s going on there but you sound desperate.  What �s going on if you don �t mind me asking?

I feel very sorry for all Portuguese teachers - it seems so unfair to me that the government takes the decision where you will work Unhappy
I keep my fingers closed for all of you - I hope you will get the job wherever you want to.
 
Good luck

I have been a teacher for almost 15 years but I don �t belong to that group anymore because unfortunately I gave up teaching in state schools three years ago.
 
 I am only in the AEC �s, teaching primary kids. I have just known  today that I will stay in the same "Agrupamento" this year, same schools, same pupils, same lousy salary, but regarding our sad reality, it �s better than nothing. At least I am in my hometown with my daughter.
 
But my thoughts are with all of you!Good luck, dear friends!! GOOD VIBES!!!Smile
