...would you submit a letter of resignation and move on? I took a position as an English teacher at a private school where it has become increasingly clearer that there is no real leadership in place. The parents of the kids who have discipline problems are the ones who call the shots. Thus, the kids who would like to learn must daily put up with the loud, authority-resistant kids who often monopolize class time. I have built a rapport with several of the kids and have no desire to just abandon them, but I am being advised by family and friends that this school is a time bomb. The thought of leaving grieves me, but so does the thought of staying in these circumstances. The principal does not attend parent meetings, offers no support to teachers, and has been caught lying about the circumstances surrounding what appears to be a case of racial discrimination.
I love the kids, who are clueless to what a sinking boat their school has become. What would you do? Stay or go?

1 Cup Fennel, sliced thin

12 Large Shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 Tsp Salt
1/4 Tsp Freshly Ground Black Pepper
2 Tbsp Unsalted Butter, cut into small pieces

In a large saute pan heat oil. Add the onions and fennel, cook, stirring for 3 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to get soft. Carefully add the pernod, it may ignite. Allow to cook for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, orange zest, and orange juice, and shrimp, and cook for 5 minutes. Using a spoon, add in the butter, swirling to incorporate it completely. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.

My husband said he is going to take me to the beach this weekend but that I have to breastfeed the baby on the way down there in the passengers seat. I told him that would be unsafe for the baby because if we got in an accident the baby could get hurt not being in a child seat. He told me it wasn't up for discussion and that I had to do it. I've been crying some tonight because of this. My husband is impatient and doesn't like to stop on trips so he makes me pack a lunch and some snacks for the road and makes me wear a diaper in case I have to go to the bathroom. I respect my husband's authority but I feel I need to protect my baby. Should I talk to my dad and ask him to talk with my husband? I think he might listen to a man but then again he might get mad if I talk to daddy about this. I don't know what to do.
