Did you ever have one of those days...

where you just feel like your whole world is turning to SH1T?? Well I am having one of those days today. My principal called me in to tell me I am not going to be granted tenure in September as a teaching assistant because they feel I had to many absences in the past three years and I have two options either submit a letter of resignation or be fired in August. Well obviously I am going to submit a letter of resignation, what option do I have.It just really bothers me how this B1TCH principal sort of gloated as she said this all to me. I have been crying hysterically since 3:08 this afternoon. It just makes me so mad that I am being canned because of absences I had no control over. I was in a car accident and missed a lot of time because of my injuries, I am still in physical therapy after 2 years and I am sorry I was out so much because of funerals, I should have asked people to wait and die during a school holiday or the summer and I am sorry I have a stomach disorder that sometimes causes me to not even be able to stand. I AM SORRY!! I am a great teacher and I dedicate my life to teaching and it just hurts so much being told I have no choice but to leave. I am just so devastated and hurt and there is nothing I can do but sit here and cry thinking about it. I am not going out without a fight though. I am going up to meet with the man in Human Resources to plead my case. I can get him doctors notes for the time I missed. Well, thanks for letting me vent. I don't even want to go to school tomorrow, my face looks like a friggin basketball it is so puffy and swollen from crying. I am just hoping and praying that my life will get back on track real soon.

Try to hang in there...I know that its hard not to miss work sometimes, for reasons you clearly have no control over. Did the school know about your situation? Try and go over the principal's head and explain yourself.

Also see your union. We had a couple of people asked to resign or be fired this year. None were due to absenses, but i definitely suggest going to the union.


So sorry

HUmn, that does not sound right!! I am soo sorry that this is happening to you. I would say to research and find out if you can plead your case to anyone else.

Sorry this is happening to you. If worse comes to worse and you cant work things out with HR, there are plenty of teachers on here that can let you know if their district is hiring. You will find another job! Remember when one door closes another opens.
It doesn't sound fair that you didn't get a warning even!

Hang in there Sweetie!

That's terrible.

How unfair! My thoughts are with you .. sending you LOTS of these!!
