So I am sitting here in shock. We were just told we are "not welcome" at SIAS next year because the school is "moving in another direction."
Now if we had been bad teachers I could easily understand this. But our teaching reviews have both of us listed as excellent teachers. So when I look at this, the only direction I can see is bad.
I know why it happened, I'm just shocked that this became such an issue. as Rodney king once said "can't we all just get along?"
In fact during the discussion I was told that if Hays keeps Christine here (they can, it is their call) that I am not welcome. In fact, I have no job, but if hays keeps criss, then the school can do nothing about it, but they would like us to "move on to something better."
Ah, and to think I actually like the school, just not the people. It is a very interesting list of people not being invited back, some are not great teachers (in fact about 4 are terrible teachers) but the majority are great teachers. (mary alice, john moll, jean whitt, nigel and jo brown, and now us) I honestly don't want to be here next year, but it would have been nice to be notified we don't have a job with more than a month left in classes.
I'm so tempted to go to classes now in cut off jeans, flip flops w/ beer in hand and say "I don't know what the f* we are doing today, so lets just watch some movie {hic}" and then stagger around and fall down. But I won't because I respect my students too much, and they deserve so much better than what they are getting from the "christian" majority here at SIAS. Well I can only see one direction the school goes, and unfortunately it is DOWN.
