This is my 23rd year as a teacher -- 4th year in KY -- I feel
that there are too many masters in the individual KY school
districts -- the principal, the SBDM Council, the Director of
Special Ed. -- just who's in charge? -- I've never experienced so
much confusion, so little assistance (yes, even old timers like
me need assistance in a new school), so few people who know
answers to my questions, so much b.s. spread so thickly, so
many 'good old boys and girls' running around trying to look
important, and so-o-o-o-o little pay for my work, efforts, and
experience. Yes, it is discouraging, at times; however, I keep
doing what I know is legal and ethical and despite my not having
tenure, I still am employed. They tried very hard to get rid of
me, but they soon learned that it's illegal to hire an
uncertified person as a special educator when a fully certified
special educator is available. I think I cost too much money, and
they'd prefer to have saved money rather than hire a qualified
person. Perhaps it's just this way in my particular district;
however, I hear similar horror stories from other KY teachers in
different regions of the state. I will close by saying that I
have worked in districts where there was more professionalism.
