Well, I got an official email, via the associate principal, stating that the school would not be changing its decision, that it was a unanimous decision from the admin team, and that it stemmed from serious concerns about my gradebook. Here's a salient quote from the email: Parents have expressed concern to the academic office about this disparity, one that cannot clearly explain fully to their satisfaction. Neither can I as a teacher of subjects that are connected (Honors English I and Honors Expository Writing I).
So fuck them. I am generously not being fired, just having my schedule changed. I'm not even going to ask if they want to talk about my policies now, which won't change just because my schedule has changed. They can fucking deal with it. I mean, if they aren't going to address these "serious issues," then how do they think I will change?
I mean, obviously, they don't.
I wrote a professional response, reiterating my concern that they didn't bother to address these concerns with me and informing them that I had filed an official complaint with the accrediting body that is looking at our school. I also privately emailed Mayi, who had been so kind until now. It's petty, but I politely called her a backstabbing bitch. I mean, she told me that she had been basically driven out of a previous school for similar reasons and how hurtful that was for her. She had to leave the Philippines because she could no longer find work in the international schools there. I asked her how she could turn around and do the same thing to me?
And then, just to twist the knife, I told her that Jin would be ashamed of her. She's a big-time ARMY, and Jin is her bias.
(And look, this isn't a good look for me, but I'm hurt and feeling judgey -- she is so weird about it! Like her Instagram reposts photos of them and comments on the photos like she's their mom and they are saying encouraging "Mother, you can do it!" messages -- and I mean it's fine. We all cope with life in a lot of different ways, and I have a MUCH darker thought about her behavior that I am going to just try and get out of my head privately because I may be hurt but I am not cruel and I'm not going to let my hurt make me behave cruelly, but UGH).
In the professional email, I said I would let them know in a timely manner if my decision to stay changed. Timely is going to be Thursday afternoon, the last day of Semester One.
Ignoring the poor grammar from the vaunted professional teacher, the important thing to note is that NO ONE FUCKING ASKED ME!!!!! NO ONE ASKED ME TO EXPLAIN ANYTHING!!!
