I've been doing more searching since this post and found an online program that the dept of education never told me about. I just have to decide if I want to take the pay cut or not  I like it here but I also want to own a home, not be stressed out, and have a dating life. It's a hard choice to make but glad I can vent and talk here. |
Wow, talk about a no brainer to me.
Unless you're willing to relocate to another state where the education leaders/legislators have a brain that's not affected by smoking too many joints, I would keep the job you have. The requirements in Colorado as stated by your post are simply ridiculous and THEN you're rewarded by a massive pay cut. I wouldn't worry too much about what the Principal wants you to do. He sounds like someone who can easily understand the common sense negatives towards you pursuing your certification.
