No DSM-IV diagnosis

The good news: I am not paranoid.

The bad news: She totally canned my ass.

When I stop sobbing I am sure I will figure out that having my profession ripped out from under me is a blessing in disguise. There will be lessons learned.

For now, I feel free to panic.

Jes,
You are an amazing teacher whose strengths are not valued by her administrator and whose weaknesses have been magnified and distorted by an effed up public policy agenda. You ARE a great teacher, just not at this school, under the current regime. It's clear from what you have shared in this blog that your school isn't serving its students well either. I have every confidence that you will find another teaching job in an environment where you - and your students - can shine.

dear god, Jes
what the fuck?
Hannah and Peter have said what really counts. I echo them. This is obscene.

She's taken your livelihood for the moment, but not your profession. How / can we help?

sending love for the just now.
