Last week I was getting everything ready for school to begin.....a 6th grade class. I went to all the meetings, devotions (it was a christian elementary school) more meetings, got things copied, etc etc etc...Then the DAY OF PARENT ORIENTATION I got laid off due to enrollment.......but the thing was they had made the decision a WEEK before this!!!! They were not going to tell me till AFTER the Parent Orientation....I just feel betrayed. IT has brought up all kinds of feelings that are attached with my abuse issues. I am trying to look on the good side of this but its hard. It also makes me not want to try to trust anyone ever again. I mean I already have a difficult time with that. So the tuesday after labor day I will be job hunting.....not teaching most likely something else. I have been teaching for 18 years now it is time for a change....recently I was trying to make a decision to teach another three years and work on an education degree (my degree is not accredited - from a bible college) that would be accepted or go into Human Service/Social Work I made the decision to go towards Human Service....several days before th is happened. Why can't people just be honest? Why do bosses play like this with people's lives?
