And then done!

It's funny. It shouldn't affect me this much, but having to deal with the rage and stupidity continuously is very unsettling. Sleep patterns all disrupted. Think I've shed the rage, then some act of petty stupidity just brings it right back, and I get exhausted suppressing it. I dread going in to deal with it.

Wow, it's somewhat amazing. Even direct requests are now blithely ignored--all over relatively mindless, minor things (what route to follow in the building, how to handle snack issues, what students are allowed to do and not do) and classroom discipline is gone out the window. Of course, the minor attempted discussion at repair--met with sort of a blank insoucence (sp); a "whatever, why are you so anal about your way" attitude.

The other school called and confirmed no job for next year. Working tech is sounding better and better.

The sadest part is, they (I guess they=the beaurocrasy?) are very good at driving out the inteeligent ones, the ones who really WANT to make a difference. I saw so many 'tenured' teachers in my time subbing who were only they're for the money (and, um, what the heck is that rational about anyway?!)

Thoughts on why the 'Good'ones are driven out? cuz it makes me sad....
