Transfer

So.  I put in for a transfer.  I am now dreading going to school, as I'm sure my principal will not be happy.  Two weeks ago, we had a h-u-g-e falling out.  HUGE. And although we worked through it and are "okay," I still went through with submitting the transfer intent.  I had threatened to do it during our blowup, and the more I thought about it, the more it seems like something I should at least look into.

I know that the grass is not always greener, so I will not transfer just to leave my current school.  But if something opens up that sounds better than what I have, I will have to think long and hard.

Thoughts in my mind:
1.  I've been at my current school for 9 years.  That's the most years I've ever worked at one place.
2.  I started the library at my current school--it will be hard to leave.
3.  We have 900 students--it's a LOT of management.
4.  The specialist team at my school is not particularly strong.
5.  I do have very, very dear friends at my school.
6.  Two schools in my district have "double classes"--two classes at the same time.  This is definitely not greener grass to me. This is babysitting.
7.  I think I should work with a needier population.
8.  I'd like to work for someone who is not a micro-manager.
9.  I'd like to work somewhere that I am valued for how I help teachers teach their curriculum.

I have more.  It's just too late for me to think of them all.  But I'll be back, mulling this over some more.
