Time at Farragut almost over

So... where to begin? This will be my final year at Farragut. That wasn't part of the plan. My principal decided that I am not the kind of teacher she wants for her school. That's not the "official" reason. She has decided to exercise her ability to not renew me as a teacher and now I have to find a new school to teach for. It was really a kick in the gut. I am one of 10 or 12 teachers who have been told that they will not be returning; all but one has at least three years of experience. It makes not sense and I cannot find a professional reason why I was let go.

So what's next? Well, I guess I have to go to some job fairs. Gotta check my suits to see what looks good. Time to print up my resume and send it out.

I will miss the kids. We have some great students at Farragut and I'm saddest to leave them. Its also hard to leave the history department. We had a fantastic team there, but the principal fired two others and it doesn't look like much will survive.

Now that I'm on a job hunt, I'll try to post more often to keep people informed as to what I'm doing. Wish me luck.

Since I first set foot to Farragut you were there for me. My first year at Farragut was your First year. With you leaving and me graduating it's like your best friend going to one college and you going to another.You were one of my best teachers and I will never forget everything you taught me. It's not fair!
