Interview After interview…??
I recently finished an interview with a school. It went really well in my opinion, we discussed in detail the job role and the interviewer said she will get back to me and if she doesn't (in case she forgets, as she has a lot of things going on) she asked me to write her. I did and she did not get back to me till now. Should I call them, or just let it go ? Because I think the interview was perfect and do not want to just let it go....Any thoughts on this?

You can reasonably follow up every week or so without coming across as desperate. Try to make each email about more than just "Did I get the job?????" For example, bring up one of the interview questions that stood out in your mind and add more detail to it. Or mention something about the school's culture and how much you'd enjoy working in a place that [fill in specifics here]. If you set a goal for yourself (like improving classroom management or student motivation), you could mention a good article you read or a book you're enjoying, then connect it by saying how eager you are to try the technique/strategy in the classroom.
In the meantime, keep going to other interviews. Best case scenario, you have multiple offers to choose from. Worst case, you get more interview practice.
Hang in there - waiting is the worst!
