rate this resignation...
girl from school decided she had enough, and wrote this resignation today. she cc'd it to a couple people, myself included. most of the things she talks about are at least somewhat true. charter school, about 150 kids grades 1-10..
fwiw, above-average attractive 32ish-year old blonde. married, husband's rich, so she's somewhat spoiled (driving an '07 escalade), and told me she only took this job 'to get out of the house', as they adopted two children under 1 year old from central america somewhere... and yes, it's probably too long to hold some of your attention, if that = you, skip it. i figure it one of the better written [censored]-you's i've ever read.. I am writing to submit my resignation. I will not be there on Monday. I am no longer able to continue due to the atmosphere and overwhelming additional duties. I was not made aware of these when I was hired. Yes, I am sure that they were outlined in the job description, but I was not informed that it was a 50-60 hour per week job. As the duties have been, week after week, heaped upon me with the like it or lump it attitude, I guess I am opting for the ladder. While it is not fair to the students or my team, I have to put my own family first at this time. However, please know that I did give 110%. I believed in the school. I even missed the birth of my nephew and my son’s first morning of kindergarten without hesitation for the job of teacher at Summit. Of course teacher’s always take work home. But, it is grading or working on lessons to help their students, not perform administrative work that takes hours each night to complete. We have/had students to teach during the day and I am certain the parents would want this to be our focus. Also, it is a shame that adult professionals, some with master’s degrees and impressive backgrounds, are given so little respect. Instead of being helped, teachers are scrutinized. Never in my almost ten years of teaching did I ever receive anything but a positive review. I have always been professional as you must have discovered in your hiring process. I have always respected my peers and administrators, but never had to question if it was being reciprocated. I can without a doubt say that is not the case in this situation. The disrespect to staff that I have seen in my short time at Summit in Warren is shocking. And who would threaten to remove a teacher’s desk? When do you think we actually have time to sit down anyway? I am sincerely sorry for the inconvenience that this will create for my fellow junior high teachers and the other members of the staff who were very kind. They are amazing people and deserve the best. I am sending them a copy of this because they are professional adults who should be treated as such. Shouldn’t they and the parents of the students be consulted instead of insulted? This is truly out of character for me. But, I guess I have never been put in such a situation. I have a feeling I am not the first to feel this way, which is a loss for the students and the parents of this community. I have put my keys and key card in the mail. |

Re: rate this resignation...
Kind of whiny. Can't all of this be said in an exit interview? She says she has always been professional yet does not give two weeks notice?

Re: rate this resignation...
eviljeff,
hopefully you have better luck than he does. i think its pretty funny when a firm that actually rates well in associate satisfaction, etc. still has these types of issues. makes you wonder about the rest. |

Re: rate this resignation...
This teacher is a dope. Good riddance.
The OP appears foolish for posting this. How can someone who can't even construct a simple letter of resignation, free of typos and grammar errors, be expected to teach kids? Did she actually grade their work (if so, she would be grading there work or they're work, but not their work). |

Re: rate this resignation...
Who the [censored] takes a teaching job without realizing it's a 60 hour per week obligation. I assume they tell you this at some point when you're getting your teaching cert.
