Long story but I'll shorten it.

I received a letter of recommendation from my supervising administrator that was almost more embarrassing for herself than it was for me (on what planet did she learn that 4 sentences -- two short paragraphs) made up a letter?  Anyway, I got some good advice from a friend.  She suggested, since there was an error about what I taught last year anyway, that I write a new letter, give it to my supervisor and ask for a signature.  I did just that.

And hoped she would just sign.

At the end of the day, however, I received an email saying that she did not agree with the changes I made and to review the new letter.

I did.

And I am sad.  What she removed from the letter was the part about me caring for my students.  REally, I have NEVER had a teaching job where I did not care for my students.  Honestly, it's just another example of how the people in this job don't really know what they are looking at.

Goodness.
