So, it's done. I met with my principal this morning, and he had me sign a couple of sheets to prove that he had given me my pinkslip. Even though I have a couple of free periods, I really wanted to get it over and done with as soon as possible. My most challenging class was right before, so I didn't feel that bad about being told that I didn't have a job for next year. If it had been after teaching my class of sweethearts, I would have been devastated.
The other day, we had talked with the kids about the fact that every job has aspects that we don't like. For a principal, it is probably having to hand out pinkslips to teachers during their first year. Having been a teacher for a while, I wasn't surprised by it. That doesn't make it any easier to take.
