View submission: Have any of you ever gotten fired?

I was non-renewed my first year teaching. In hindsight, that school should have done so much more for me as a first year teacher and only penalized me. It turned out to be the best thing that I wasn’t renewed because I was going to leave on my own accord anyway.

Then the next school I went to, I taught at for 5 years. My last year before I was tenured, they didn’t renew my contract. They were making cuts in staffing due to decreased enrollment and one of my coworkers was coming back from a year-long maternity leave and got my position. It hurt a lot but was ultimately for the best. I’ve been thriving at the schools I’ve taught at since.
