    Something very similar happened to me, but it was after my
    student teaching. It is so interesting how these things happen
    to people. Wow! I thought I was the only one who had B.S. like
    this happen to me. Apparently it is happening all over. It makes
    you feel like crap. Why are people such back stabbers. I don't
    get it. Well, apparently there are creul people out there
    waiting to bait you in. Sometimes I come with the feeling that
    schools are like communist prisons. You just can't say a darn
    word without getting yourself in a heap of trouble. I didn't
    realize this until I was in the heap.
