Title pretty much sums it up and I just need to rant. My girlfriend works for a private school currently as an art teacher.
The work environment there is super toxic. It's a for profit system since it's a private school, she (as well as the other teachers and educators) get 0 support from the higher ups, and her classroom is the only one in the basement so no one (aside from students) ever talks to her.
She recently found a job listing in the public school sector that is perfect for her and when she applies, they told her that they wanted her to start ASAP. She put in her two weeks and this Friday is her last day.
Well the new school called her today and said that because she doesn't have her teaching license/certificate yet (specifically because they don't know where she is at in the process of getting it), they are hiring someone else.
In the county where we live, you can be a substitute teacher and/or long-term substitute teacher without a teaching license/certificate, and the schools will almost always work with you to get it. This school even told her they would work with her to finish it by the end of the school year.
My girlfriend is pretty (rightfully) upset about it and my heart hurts seeing her this upset. I hate that any job will do this. Sorry for the long post, and sorry if this isn't necessarily the right place for it. I wasn't exactly sure where to put it.
