Need an opinion

by teacher

Oct 1, 2009

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,

confused.. If the school needs the extra class, it needs it.. to avoid you or other teachers having classes that are huge. So why would a principal refuse to give you a 7th class because another teacher quit committees to protest her planning period being moved?

anon. I would be upset too but it stinks to be the other teacher too. They are getting moved around without anyone asking them if they were alright with the change in their personal classroom. They really should be more understanding but you cannot expect everyone to take one for the team. I hope something works out for you in the future!

hmmmm It's Sunday evening and I am really bored. Tired of reading the same old problems posted on my state's board, I decided to check out posts from other states.

I just have to say that this post was on my state's board not long ago. EXACTLY...word for word. hmmmmmmmmmmm
