I was working in a school that was and is totally dysfuntional. My health was was being adversaly affected. In fact a colleague who was being harassed by the Principal drop dead of a heart attack days before the end of the worst year in education that I have ever had in my 20 year tenure with the DOE.<BR/><BR/>I have documented my harassment on my blog for all to read and it is my contention that I was already in a rubber room being that my students were being questioned everyday, some of the sicker female co-teachers were attempting to set me up on the instructions of the principal and I was being observed everyday for a week.<BR/><BR/>I hope you can understand that when I was finally, physically,(on trumped upped charges of employee misconduct of the specifics of which I do not know) sent to the rubber room I viewed it as a rest from the forocious and relentless boxing match I was engaging in with the bum that was finally "knocked out" by the spot light that was put on him by the 4th estate.<BR/><BR/>To paraphrase Nelson Mandela; A common criminal can not handle isolation in prison but a political prisoner can stay there forever because he or she knows his/her fight is moral one and someday he or she will be vindicated. (Of course one has to be willing to pay the price.)<BR/><BR/>I am no criminal as I see myself as a plotical prisoner of the DOE.<BR/>That gives me great solace and more determination to continue my struggle all the way to the bitter end!JUSTICE not "just us"https://www.blogger.com/profile/05502604957951804040noreply@blogger.com
