Context I have been at the same high-school for 7 years, I teach social studies, and out of the 7 years I have always taught U.S. history (in TX its a state tested subject). I dont only teach U.S. history I've had 2 to 3 preps every single year, which I assume is normal. I have been trying to get out of U.S. history for the last 3 years and my district/ admin/dept head have prevented me from doing it. I believe I have paid my dues teaching a tested subject, but the comment that angered me is when my boss told me point blank we'll you cant move unless we hire someone else better than you. My wife and I both work at the same school so its pretty convenient besides the salary is about the same, so I didn't want to leave but im pretty much burnt out at this point. Is finding another job my best option? Other negatives, our district got taken over by the state last school year so many are leaving which might include admin, morale is low, and district is creating rules that are questionable, borderline illegal. submitted by /u/LebigH [link] [comments]
