Good thing I had a day's warning before I got the email from Dr. R at MSU... I am expected to bring two checks tomorrow to class... one for a $60 registration fee and one for a course fee of $295... What kind of crap is that??? An announcement comes over the p.a. system Thursday afternoon telling all Literacy teachers to check our boxes for an important opportunity... I check it and WOW!! -- there's a free graduate course for us at Montclair State... It's starting this Saturday so I fax my registration... Well... first day of class went great... I'm really excited about this course... but oh now, East Orange... good ol' East Orange... they failed to inform us that we would have to pay these fees.... (perhaps they didn't know...what--ever!!!)... Last I checked, I was a teacher... My bank account doesn't have money just sitting in it to give... I have two kids... That is a lot of money for me when I'm not expecting it...Hmmmm.... so, what should I do??? Should I not pay my son's high school tuition??? How about not pay my car insurance??? What a great opportunity...Yeah... well, now it's all screwed up... You know, I wouldn't have a problem with the fees if I had known... but I have one day's notice... and frankly, I'm pissed...

I didn't know either, Rhoshonda. My understanding as well was that the course would be paid for. Let me check into it.
Good news, we only have to pay the graduate application fee of $60. I guesss there really is nothing in life that is free.
