What do you do when...?
I went to school for 5 undergraduate years and have a bachelor's degree in education with a focus in comprehensive communications and English.
I have 6 hours away from a master's degree in Comparative Literature.
I have attended numerous hours of training in the teaching of writing.
I have attended numerous hours of continuing education courses as "updates" to new teaching practices are "developed."
I am a good teacher. That is a lie. I am a really good teacher.
...Where am I going with this...
What do you do when...
A community of people who DO NOT have the training I have believes it can dictate what I can and cannot teach in my classroom based on issues of religion and what I believe to be outright bigotry?
Is the only answer to teach in a different community?
Wait until I have a tenured voice and then tell them to &#%@ themselves.
...I have parents who don't want their SENIORS in high school to read ANGELA'S ASHES!
Help!

Angela's Ashes! That makes no sense.
hey I wrote a big long email and tried all your addresses I have for you. Let me know if you get it or if your email has changed. I know I'm a bad friend for not having the correct email....I'm sorry!
Love you hope school is getting better and that you can deal with it shove it aside and be the teacher you are. You are a great teacher! You have touched so many lives!

that's tough. but, i'm not sure that another district is the answer. that is, unless you know that they have a more open curriculum.
do you feel supported by your administration on the issues?
