Yeah, so I finally spoke to my mom in regards to the past few days. She said I need to call the placement office and get some support. She suggested I say that I have not been given an honest chance and I need an advocate, because with the teaching experience I have this should not be happening. She's right. My strengths are not being represented, especially when principals presume to know who I am before they interview me. These presumptions on the part of these principals are beyond my control. She said I should say everything short of mentioning my race. I don't want to play that race card. She also thought it was ridiculous for me to pretend that I am stupid.
My mom cracked me up with a come-back comment, ya know if they refuse to assist me, "Don't say you can't help me, I never tell my students they can't I always say they can. Someone can help me and someone will." Ohh you had to be there.
