Well, my parents said they would pay for the classed that would be done by Dec but my Principal refused to sign for an extension that the srate said they would give to me. We have another staff member that can teach the 1 section that we will have next year but they won't have him teach it. The Principal has been trying to find a way to get rid of me for 2 years. But, I'm still good enough to teach summer school.

I am so sorry.  Hopefully, something will work out.  Sometimes God has a plan but we just don't know it at the time when things seem so bad.  Prayers for you to find employment that is much better than your last position.

Thanks everybody for the support.  The Union said there is nothing that can be done since I don't have the License (even though I could get an extension or have somebody else teach it.)  I feel bad for the kids.  Not to brag, but parents have told me the only science their kids learned was from me and kids told me on their ACT's my curriculum was the only thing they remembered.  

I'm off to the dentist and then I'm going to turn in my resignation.

I am so sorry Jim.  The politics in schools is probably one of the biggest deterrents when it comes to having good teachers stay.  I've always hated school politics the most while teaching and think that it takes away from the student focus bigtime.  A man as talented as you has many great avenues to persue.  Wishing you the best and a peaceful summer.

Well I know congrats really goes to those graduating... but here's a big "CONGRATS!" to you for living through it all! Been there... done that... it is a load on the parents that no one quite understands until you go through it yourself.

Thanks for understanding!  It sounds just like another get together to plan for, but it certainly isn't!  Our daughter has been very appreciative for the work we did, so that makes it worth it.

Clearly that's your problem. As soon as you are able to engage and educate students then you show up the slacker teachers and thus, you must go. 

I'm sure you'll land on  your feet.
