Oh, no. They never saw my documentation. This wasn't "the meeting," so I didn't bring it. It was just Supervisor, Bitch, and me. The two meetings I was supposed to have were never arranged, and now never will be arranged, so all the documentation is for nothing, since no one will see it now.
I'm keeping it and adding to it, but I'll probably end up just throwing it away in June.
She got angry with me again, in front of him, and he just sat there and let her. This program and the schools are allied against the student teachers.
I met someone else from my program today who is now teaching, and she took one look at me and said "They're doing it to you, too, aren't they?"
So we chatted after school and she told me what I consider the straight dope: The program and the schools are not trying to train new teachers. They are, quite literally, working together to weed out as many of us as they can. If the college graduates only a certain small number of teachers, the program looks tough and well-designed, and gains more prestige.
The program has been totally restructured every year for the last four years. It has had a brand new director three years running, now, and rumor has it, the current director isn't sure she's staying on.
So. I'll just pucker at both ends and try to stick with it. What else can I do; I'm too old to start again.
