:donut: and lurkers. The problem with ignoring criminal behavior, but the ramification of ignoring that Barbour. What point are laws and rules if you aren't going to follow them. The end sum of no laws and drowning government in a bathtub is that there are no laws and no one is safe. I think these idiots have not fully thought this thing through.

I am seeing this at my job already. My principal asked me to do something that was against the laws. It seems minor enough but it something happened, I could lose my job at the least and lose my license at the least. I refused, and when I went back to explain my rational, she would not listen and accused me of not being a team player. She then said (rationalizing) that we are here for the kids and that sometimes that means that we have to step out on a limb. She seemed ok with breaking district policy, like it was not a big deal.

All I know is that when you are out on a limb, you are by yourself. If I am standing out on a limb, I want to make damn sure I at least have the law on my side. Needless to say my blood pressure and blood sugar went wild this weekend. I called in sick on Monday and saw both my Doc and my union rep. My rep asked me a series of great questions and at the end of those questions-I had my answer. I am going to seek a transfer to another school for very obvious medical reasons. The stress makes it a toxic environment for me. It just isn't worth it. I can't battle my incompetent health services AND my principal too. I gave this charter school a try, and I do love my kids, but I cannot have an unsafe practice. Since I cannot in good conscience be a team player, I am declaring my free agent status.

I just can't do drama anymore. So I am trying to de-stress and am taking the week off. I am curious as to how they are managing but I can't worry about it. I am getting Dr's appointment together and taking care of neglected business. I am trying to find a spot to transfer if I can. If I can't secure a transfer, I will start looking for another job else where. When you reach your tipping point, you reach your tipping point.

This feeling laws are for the little people has got to stop before the fabric of our society is ripped to tatters.

Happy hunting and watch out for the bears.
