instead of appreciating a teacher that knows English and enjoys teaching
they are making it harder for you to stay in the system. One would assume
there were SO many English teachers that love the job and that have
certification.
I would find another job, fast! I am still a teacher just because I want to
retire in 2 years. Enough is enough! I loved it too, but I cant say that
anymore and keep a straight face.
Find something better!
