Teach for Hysteria: We Wear the Mask Update

Okay, so I've been so busy doing it I haven't had time to write about it. Yes, that's right teaching. I did rededicate myself, and guess what? After you all weighed in on what I should do in my meeting with Psychotic Man, the principal -- oh wait a minute, a brain fart is emerging...

Get this-- Do you know this man actually says to kids, randomly, " Do you know how you remember to spell principal? The principal is my PAL." They kids look at him wide-eyed and scurry away. They know the real deal. PM is a madman.

Anyway, I get a call from one of his lackeys, who has actually been very nice to me this year, and she says he is cancelling my meeting, but will reschedule. Well, I know what that means. We won't never ever meet! (Double negative fully intended) YAY! And yes, I had decided to follow the advice of my gentle readers and lie, or be diplomatic or whatever, to cover my ass.

In the meantime, I am pursuing other job opportunities. I really hope to work with some nice, progressive people of color. I talked to some yesterday in Brooklyn, so let' s keep our fingers crossed. And, of course, if you know any, let me know!
