Do I have a job next year?
We relocated our family here to be a part of this school district.
I studied for years to be able to better the minds of my community and my country.
I accept wages that are well below similarly prepared and degree-holding counterparts, so as to be able to devote my career to public service in this suffering community.
And now, they are hinting that they may not be needing teachers next year.
How is that for a "thank you for your service?"
I move 60 miles, uproot my family in the process, accept lower pay than elsewhere in the state where there were standing offers so as to work in a school that needed me, and now there is a possibility that I might not be here next year.
We will see what the meeting holds; evaluations are being done, so we will see.
The Beginning (and always with or without a classroom) Teacher
