So I think it's going to be okay, even though I had to inform my principal of my intent in the presence of my assistant principal who of course asked if there was any reason why, and of course I was unable to answer that it was her incompetence. Now there's no final approval yet, and if I've learned anything about public education it's that promises aren't worth the ether they're uttered in. Still, it looks like I'm out, and it's still sad, but it's the right move long-term. Now I can be a math teacher.
