[LM_NET] Out of a job

[SIMON827@AOL.COM]

Well, a few weeks ago I told you my surveys from my second grade teachers 
were brutal because they couldn't have a fixed schedule.  Friday my principal 
called me in and told me my contract would not be renewed!  My K and ! teachers 
are shocked and very supportive.  The few parents who know are furious.  As it 
turns out, she let just about every non-tenured person go that she did not 
hire. She has been principal for about 1 3/4 years. Guess she wanted "her" people 
in these positions. As a nontenured person in this system, she didn't even 
have to give a reason and could ignore my great evaluations. After 23 years in 
education, I am unemployed.
So, I am hoping to interview for a grade 6-8 school opening but have always 
had elementary students.  Could you give me some ideas of things the principal 
might ask?  Also, let me know what are the current top titles, series and 
authors for this age group.  
I appreciate any and all help:-)
