My sister lost her job :(

She is a first year high school English teacher. She was the musical director, asst. soccer coach, and student council advisor. She was handed her pink slip yesterday :(. Her principal said he was so sorry but they had to cut 2 positions; one specifically in English. She was the last one in, first one out. She Is devastated. Shes getting married in June and they are freaking out about their future. It's really hard to get a job in our district. If you could send any T&Ps her way, we would greatly appreciate it. My poor mother is a mess trying to hold all the pieces together from my infertility, sis's wedding, and now sis's unemployment.

  • I'm so sorry.  I've said it before, but the education field is a scary place to be right now.  It is a shame that kids have to suffer and lose out on people like your sister who seem so involved all because of budget problems.  Hopefully something else comes along or maybe she can get steady sub work.

    That was one of my first thoughts. I got the BEST teacher in 6th grade, it was the one everyone wanted. But she had to get let go for the same reason - first in first out. Looking back, it's pretty cool that our principal for elem school thought we were mature enough to know that -- anyways point is we were so upset we lost our teacher. I'm sure her kids feel the same way. 

    Sending Vibes to her for her to get another job real soon! And hopefully, she'll love that job jsut as much, if not more, than the one she just lost. 

    My overly happy baby girl!

  • I am so sorry!!  All of the teacher cuts are so devastating.  Drew's mom found out last week that they won't be renewing her contract because she's too expensive.  It is so sad to see good teachers lose their jobs.

    Sending lots of T&P!!!
