View submission: Have any of you ever gotten fired?
Got non-renewed at a charter, though when they told me “maybe if you show that you’re meeting expectations who knows?” I laughed and asked if they really thought I wanted their job after the hell they’d put me through. They were so confused. It was extremely gratifying. I found a job in the second week the local school system was hiring for the following year. My next school wasn’t the right fit, plus my confidence had taken such a hit from the non-renewal and everything leading up to it (literal emotionally abusive supervisor) I don’t know that anywhere would have been a particularly good follow-up, but it was a foot in the door, and my current school is exactly where I want to be. I think provided that you haven’t done anything egregious, a good admin will understand that not every school is a good fit for every teacher and that there are some genuinely toxic places out there.
There's nothing here!
