I'm sorry to hear about your unfortunate dealings. Not only do I believe the schools made the wrong decisions, but it's sad to see that common courtesy appears to be harder and harder to come by.
In the chapter entitled, "Opportunity" in "The Audacity of Hope," it is obvious that teachers with the qualifications you possess are at a premium and essential to the future of our educational system if we want to see things improve.
The two schools that passed on you have missed out and I think I can say this because I had you as a teacher and know what a great job you did with your students.
Sorry Dub, you're overqualified to become a hobo. Hobo positions are generally filled by those with a bachelor's or less.
On the plus side, um....the Klee is nice?
I'm sorry. That sucks. Since I'll be more or less in the same position in a year's time (though arguably far less qualified), your story made me very hopeful and then very nervous about my job prospects.
As you know, silver-liningism is generally not my forte, but I'd like to think that this experience indicates that if you were this popular with those two schools, there are plenty of other schools out there who will want you and, one would hope, not staffed with crapfaces.
be glad you found out they were crapfaces before you became one of them!
hang in there. the right thing will come turn up...
I'm also sorry to hear how everything turned out Dub. This will be a good thing to remember insofar as that the game never stops. As a kid, you try to figure out teachers. How they teach. What they like to see on your work. What they'll test on. Then it's on to the real world and employers. It just never stops.
It is really terrible that the second school and the principal were so bad at the end. The guy sounds like he needs to remove a stick from his ass.
mr. w, don't worry, i'm sure you'll find a great job.
oh wait this is josh m.
I very much appreciate all of the kind words and encouragement.
Thank you all.
Ergh! I'm behind on the times. I didn't get to read the post, but I am bummed about what everybody is empathizing about.
