None of you are eve...I think you're all right. None of you are even close to how I handled it, though. Let's say it involved a phone call to the Superintendent (about this and some other things I kept quiet about for way too long). And it also involved a fruit basket on his desk whenever he returned, which was not while I was still there, unfortunately. I still can't believe he did that to me. He's never done anything like that even to people he doesn't like - and I thought we were on pretty good terms. There are pages more to the story, but I figured this was a good enough way to capture the story. He demolished my last memory at the place I spent the most time over the past 6 years, and I know I'll get over it - but it hasn't come close to happening yet. My heart just hurts. :(Erin Halseynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8075642887142726880.post-75946983573579526382011-06-12T19:16:47.314-07:002011-06-12T19:16:47.314-07:00I agree with all Erin said and was going to tell y...I agree with all Erin said and was going to tell you to remember that you did all this work for the kids, not for him. You will never be appreciated the way you deserve to be appreciated, so you have to make yourself remember that you did above your best and many little hearts will be forever changed by you, even if you never know the extent.merritthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01186031706168824101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8075642887142726880.post-63943071851405009732011-06-11T12:43:27.327-07:002011-06-11T12:43:27.327-07:00oh man.

My first rea...oh man. I had to sleep on this one.<br /><br />My first reaction was that I would feel REALLY REALLY hurt. Terribly.<br /><br />My second reaction was that, hey, if in some ways this validates your decision to concentrate on YOUR children for the next few years instead of other people's, then maybe God planned your awkward/painful departure for a reason.<br /><br />My third reaction is that you did it for the kids, not the principal, so revel in the thanks and joy and affirmation you continue to get from your students and parents, and don't let him get you down.<br /><br />Sorry it wasn't an awesome last day. You're so close to being really really done.

I'm going to choose to feel that I'm a better person than this fellow and feel sorry that he doesn't know how to express his undying thankfulness for me. Poor, poor guy. <br /><br />:(EMUhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08974732869702942852noreply@blogger.com
