So, I've started looking for another job. Don't know if I want to stay in teaching or not, so I'm looking at all sorts of things. There's only so many times I will let myself and my kids be fucked over.

Me too. I guess nothing will stop them when they feel that their job's on the line. Bunch of fucking asshats... They tried to say it was MY fault because I didn't check to make sure there were no conflicts. Umm, sorry, that's why I had to fill out forms OVER A MONTH AGO to get permission for this trip! Grrrrr.......I'm suprised they did it that quick.
I haven't technically quit yet (I have until July 1st, the beginning of the fiscal year, to find another and resign), and it isn't merely about this incident. This is the last in a series of actions like this by my admin. I've just had enough.JodoForce wrote:It sounds like you quit your job because of this?![]()
I'm sure I'm reading this wrong but that's how it reads like :p
Stop with the memories...jegs2 wrote:Last minute changes in training schedules due to conflicts is certainly nothing exclusive only to the Education system. In the Army, company commanders must resource training a year out, forecasting for ammunition requirements, availablity of land for training, and a multitude of other factors. Training schedules are supposed to be locked in six weeks out, after a multitude of meetings, coordination and garnering of required resources. When all that is said and done, a field-grade officer says, "I think it would be a great idea if..." Then all that planning goes down the tubes, along with dealing with whatever resources had already been allocated -- not to mention the damage done to one's quarterly budget estimates.
Throw an unplanned deployment into the mix (Iraq war), and things go to Hell in a hurry...
If your planing to get a job in NJ or a nearby state, the propects isn't that good. Willing to relocate to a different part of the country or another country might be better, if for less buearcracy(sp) elsewhere.RedImperator wrote:This does not encourage me to buckle down, get my grad school applications in, and work on my Education masters and teacher's certification...
In the Military that is to be expected. Be happy is wasn't a daily event, or this is wher I'm proven wrong.jegs2 wrote:Last minute changes in training schedules due to conflicts is certainly nothing exclusive only to the Education system.

Thanks for the info.DINK verilon DINK! wrote:RogueIce ~ Zaia's a music teacher.
Just keep in mind that 30 dollars and hour on your own is like making 18-20 dollars and hour for an employer. When you work for yourself you have to pay ALL taxes and its a pain. Thats why contractors usually charge double the hourly rates.Col.
