I have a situation where I would like other people's opinion. Two weeks ago, my schools enrollment went up and my principal asked if I would like to teach on my conference period (which is an extra $10,000). Everything was going great until another teacher found out that because of the master schedule, they would have to change their conference period from 7th to 2nd. This teacher raised such a fuss (started rumors, resigned off committees, etc), that the pricipal change her mind and told me that I now can not teach the extra period. So basicly, I lost out on $10,000 because the other teacher refused to switch their conference period. Should I be upset at that teacher when he knew if the switch wasn't made, I would lose out on $10,000. We are talking about quite a bit of money, not $200 or a minimal amount. Just wondering what others would think and do if this happened to them.

Thanks,
Frank $10,000 is a significant increment to your income, and the other teacher, who did not agree to a change which would have allowed you to earn the extra money, is an apparent obstacle to that extra income. What is not clear, and would not necessarily be clear even were I to know the individual teacher, is the motivation for his or her actions. I can ...See More

Pecos As the previous teacher said, we don't know the whole story. We have only heard one side.

There may be many reasons that the teacher did not want to change the conference period.

To offer any thoughts of value, we would have to know more.

this person has posted this over and over on numerous boards I have read this same post on at least 20 different boards here on t.net. Many people has answered these posts. I don't know if this person is a troll or what but I am beginning to kind of see why the other teacher did not want to accomodate her.
