March 3: Would it surprise you, after all that I've written about this matter, that the principal called me in the office this afternoon and said that I am now officially an "unsatisfactory" teacher because of the "Needs Improvements" marks I've received, for such things as the crowded room, students who slump, etc? As I've said before, I've gotten the vibe right from the get-go that the principal doesn't like me for whatever reason, and I've picked up the idea via plentiful teacher rumors that the school administration is going out of its way to give out a lot of NI's to teachers to justify the school's failing AYP. Yes, I realize I'm far from perfect, but everything seemed fine in my first three years in the school system; my observations were always fine, until this year. What a coincidence. But the sad thing is, now I can't even transfer to a different school because I'm officially on an "improvement plan" and those on the plan are not eligible for transfer. You'd think since they think so little of me that they'd be happy to give me a satisfactory rating just so I can get out of there---then everyone would be happy!
