The Charter School has been shedding substitutes right and left this year. No fault of the subs. The schools have a rough bunch of students and if they can't be handled to their needs (i.e., they can't be taught), they let go of the subs. The schools did this last year too. And I didn't disappoint all the schools, just one and if one dismisses you, you lose all the schools.

My feelings of dread, frustration, . . . . and incompetence have lessened.

I still lost the job, but at least I don't feel that I "earned" it.
