The Love Boat and Second Chances. Reflections of a public school teacher. January 19, 2009. By Thanksgiving these parents had organized and were meeting. Someone sent me a copy of their email correspondence. Some parents were calling for my dismissal. Others were just angry and venting about everything they thought I was doing wrong. We waited for a short time in the ER (I know, what a miracle). When the woman called me over to talk to me my speech became slurred and I started talking nonsense. I...I sud...

My question is how can we insist on a raise when our colleagues all over the country and teaching in the classroom next door are losing their jobs? What is fair about that? When it comes down to it, as a te...
