So I finally got my full teacher certification. I also got hired to teach English. I've in fact been so busy writing has been impossible. Either way, I was hired a few weeks ago to teach English at a local high school. Until 72 hours before the first day of school. I was informed that due to "comments" (air quotes mine) I supposedly made, they wanted to fire me. Also the principal had never been on the call where I was hired and she told me to my face she wouldn't have.

It's the feeling of community that makes working here so fun.

So obviously I...did not quit. They offered to bump me down to TA, I said no since I'd signed a contract. I basically refused to do anything except teach English. I was pissed, I was frustrated but I was going to teach English or they were going to tell me just what in the fuck I had done to piss them off. The answer as it turns out, was nothing. In truth it was all far far stupider than I thought.

Okay, so the EC department at my school is understaffed. How understaffed I don't hear you asking. Well a case worker isn't allowed to have more than 50 cases at a time. The EC director is handling 90 minimum right now. The principal had told me she would have fired me and told me she didn't believe I could manage a classroom, despite having NEVER seen me run a classroom. And after all of this crap, the Friday before school started, she finally told me the truth.

The EC department was so understaffed they had to have someone there. In fact the day I was being told how shitty of a job I was doing, before running a single class, they had hired an EC teacher who quit within six hours. The principal said that if I really wanted to help students, this was how I could. And...I do. I got into teaching because I believe the most noble thing I can do is serve my fellow man as God commanded, showing them love and support regardless of the money. And while I am and remain furious she lied to me, I'll do what is needed.

So I am now an EC teacher. In fact today I put together my massive case manager notebook and I am learning how to write IEPs. The pay is horrible and the hours long but at least the kids will be better off. For that I am grateful.

But anyway, moving on from that and my barely functioning brain, I am looking for people to do TF role plays with. Dog tf fans and mental tf fans especially. I would do this to relax, but none of my usual partners are interested in doing it with me right now, so I am going on to FA. If interested, please note me.
