Officially tendering my resignation today, and doing it a week earlier than originally discussed with the school.
I've been here 27 months now and feel like I've gone above and beyond on several occasions for the place: writing a syllabus (for extra money, but not nearly enough for the work required), spending time in butt-f**k small towns teaching, marketing tours on my weekends etc. etc.
I was pissed off when I went to request a renewal and was told I wouldn't be needed due to low student numbers, especially since the guy they're keeping as his contract has longer to run is proving to be monstrously incompetent.
This weekend is the last time I'll get to see my brother before he departs, so I requested for a small change to the schedule be made so I'm not backing up at 8am on the Monday. I've seen these requests granted time and time again for others, but mine was shot down without explanation.
So, in short, f**k 'em. They can do without a teacher for an extra week.
