Martina... I am glad you have the option to ask them to leave. You do very stressful work. Congrats!
Kiwi... I hope you find out soon what is going on with your contracts. ugh so much unknown. Positive thoughts for you!
I read the PTSD article and I could relate to a slight degree. I remember developing panic attacks about talking to parents on the phone from one position. After that I position I've tried to be more careful about the positions I look for and teach in. The last 2 years working with crazy vice principal taught me I can handle a lot and I don't want to have to handle incompetence.
Right now I am counting my lucky stars, thanking the Goddess, working hard and being grateful for the place I've landed. Support, competence and care for students is incredible.
