Very sorry to hear this. SED teachers have a special place in our society IMHO. Hang in there; I hope you don't give up your vocation. There are kids that need you.

Its part of the Hope and Change plan.

You have support of people on here and atleast you are venting here.

Hang in there. Will be hoping for some positive news from you soon.

I release! I let go! I coast along with my hands off the controls. I breathe freely without constraints. My energy flows without care alongside the wayward winds.

My wife is a special ed teacher. it helps with me i think

Totally his fault that TBG's district has declining enrollment. Commandant Obama should mandate a set amount of children and limit population mobility. ;)

Keep the DC bullshit the **** out of this thread. Some people just can't ****ing help themselves.

TBG, hang in there. I like to think things happen for a reason. It sounds like you are passionate about what you do and that you are good at it and in the end, that is all that matters.

That really sucks. I used to be married to a Special Education teacher (opens door for everyone) and I'm not so fond of HER anymore I have a ton of respect for the profession.

Hang in there and good luck.

Cobbler's children or something like that...

Hang in there TBG, thinks will break your way....

good thoughts headed your way

Keep your head up bud.

Hopefully you can find something. But the reality is that the only thing you can do is keep on and do the best you can. That's all there is to do.

In other news, I'm pretty sure my wife is God's sister. I'm ****ing her and that dude ****ing hates my ass. It's all I can think of.

Frank....it's s shame that a good guy like you gets cut in favor of someone who is probably just "pulling down a paycheck". Keep your head up man...there is something for you. Like I am sure others on here will do for you, we will keep you in our thoughts.

This kind of political bullcrap is why I am trying to convince my daughter to graduate HS early. It's not only school politics that are played with how teachers are retained, it's also how the teachers play the students. It's no longer how truly talented the student is, it's how much money your parents kick in to the school coffers that rules where your kid places. Or where the parents are in the local social strata of the community.

:shake: Take this to DC.
