Who gives a shit about the staff. They screwed you.

Glad to hear all of the kids are contacting you. They are the only ones that really count. I hope they have the real story behind your "retirement" that wasn't and isn't. They will not hesitate to call a spade a spade and a hypocrite a hypocrite. Whoa to Jay if he tries to pull any shit on any kid that asks him why you're not teaching.

And you know they're going to give the new teacher hell. She better be good. Really good. But she'll need to keep it up for four years because your students aren't going to show her any mercy if she's not up to your standards. Which you know she won't be. Because no one can replace you.

They're going to find that out real quick.

Any sub jobs? No nibbles on the paras? Did you file for unemployment?

You weren't the scape goat or the black sheep. You were the sacrificial lamb.
