“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain

THE Meeting

So this morning I had the meeting with the head of the elementary school I've refused to teach classes in.

He's such a nice guy and he said he understands what I was saying.

And that he was really upset and sorry that it had happened and he's sorry that he didn't realise what was going on.

HOW bad did he make me feel?!

But I knew I couldn't back down. I already have done like 3 times and it got me nowhere. I felt so bad for him but I had to stand my ground. He was offering me all these options but I politely turned them all down. I mean, I basically said I'd past the point where I was actually able to work with the teachers.

He's gonna go back and talk to them but I've got no idea how it's gonna pan out. I'm going to the other grades' classes on Thursday but so far there has been no mention of me going to the 6 nensei's class....

Guess I'll just have to wait and see.

But I'm so relieved the meeting's over and everything is out in the open. I wasn't as scathing as I was in my email but was very firm in what had happened and what was and was not acceptable on their part.

Watch this space!
