L.J. It's not you. Okay, it's not you. It's not you. Get it? I had great reviews and still got laid off by the same district twice in just a few years. There are horrible politics wrapped in an atmosphere of fear and loathing. It's been almost a year and I'm still applying and interviewing both in and out of our local district. Right now, I'm seriously ...See More
