When did honesty become a bad thing?
|
When did honesty become a bad thing? Tuesday I posted a simple yet telling status update on the facial book. I simply said “Grrrr ….” Obviously this was a sign that I was in a rare bad mood. Some of you know that I’m a substitute teacher and have been searching for a full time position for almost 5 years now. Well an opportunity fell into my lap a couple weeks ago. A school very close to me was looking for a teacher with my license and one of the secretaries there is the mother of a couple I used to coach and a good friend of my aunts. So I was on the short list. *********Warning this will likely turn into a rant.********* After a week of subbing there (and a weekend of literally cleaning house) I checked my license and found that it will be expiring soon. You see every 5 years teachers need to renew their licenses and they have to have 125 hours of continuing education to do so. These can be earned at workshops, seminars or college courses. But here I am months from the time I would have to renew and I have almost no hours. Being a substitute I’m working in part because teachers are at these things. So Monday morning I told the Principal at the school that my license was close to expiring and because of that I would have to take myself out of the running for the position. I went on to explain that it wouldn’t be far to the students or the school for me to take this job knowing there was a decent possibility that they would have to start their search all over again when my license ran out. I also gave the suggestion that they look for someone with an “adaptive” background. Being that there are several wheel chair bound students at the school. Which is something that I don’t have a background in. After I told him this the Principal told me to let him know if there was anything he could do to help. Which I agreed too, even though I’m not sure how he can at this point. Since then several of the teachers have actually thanked me for being honest about my license. So I get home Tuesday after work and news of this must have finally gotten around. Because I get home and basically get read the riot act. My Aunt has been telling me this whole time not to voice any reservations I have until after I get hired (if I get hired). And likewise I catch the riot act from another family member that I live with last night. Apparently I should have kept quiet about my license and my thoughts about needing someone with an adaptive background if not the license. Apparently because I decided it was better to be honest about this people are wondering if I’m depressed. Seriously? And the riot act reader seemed to stop just short of inferring that I’m lazy because of this. I admit there are parts of my life that I’m not happy with, but I’m not depressed. And hinting at being lazy? I have had to work my butt off for everything I’ve ever accomplished. From learning to read (because of my learning disability) and getting my BA to my athletic accomplishments when I was a and in high school. So don’t even start to go there! Some of these family members are the ones that nothing ever seems to be right for. I don’t dress right because I like to wear sweat pants and a t-shirt. I don’t like hockey but live in Minnesota. Ooooo having my own opinion about something that I formed by myself not based on what others thought, so taboo. I get my weight made fun of (getting back to not looking the part). I’m the only one not willing to enable a family members drug issues. And apparently I’m the odd one because of that. I’m not the one asking for money all the time (even when work is slow), then bringing illegal things into the house with the money I just asked for. But still I get read the riot act. So when did honesty become a bad thing? Since when is telling the truth the wrong thing to do. Thinking of others before your self is something I’ve always thought was a virtue, not something to be looked down on. If your still here thank you for putting up with what was probably an incoherent rant. I promise I'll be back after work tomorrow (Friday) with something more light hearted. |

A sub is a tough job. So good job just doing that. It was good to be honest. No matter what anyone else thinks..it is your life and do what is right for you.

Honesty is always better than subterfuge. And it will make you stand out from the crowd. Now when you get your license issue worked out & renewed that principal will remember you. Even if that particular job is no longer open, there will be others & administrators do talk. And just as there is nothing wrong with honesty, there is also nothing wrong with ranting to your friends from time to time when you're frustrated.
