OK, well I promised to keep you informed of the outcome between myself, Principal Palpatine and Sally Slacker.
After emailing the Emperors office about the situation, I received a call from Palpatine stating that Sally would be put into a class at another school to complete the credit and then attempted to deflect the blame by stating that I mis-interpreted the communication from her office.
The grade was changed, the parent was on board and Palpatine was thrown under the starship. I feel for the other instructor who had a similar problem and was summoned by Palpatine to meet with all involved.
All-in-All I am glad that this was put on the radar; hopefully Palpatine will not be allowed to made decisions without teacher consent.

Where has the time gone...
Wow, I have been a true slacker. Its been almost a month since my last blog, and that is not keeping the promise I made to a friend of mine. Sorry!!
So, what has been happening in the time that has passed? Well, working 3 jobs starts it; full time at the high school, and two evening and online jobs at the local colleges. I was made the Student Activities Director at the high school I teach at, as well as a PBL trainer. Yeah, I never know when to say No!
We had a successful Halloween Dance; first event of the school year for the kids - it was great. In addition to all of this, finishing classes for my doctorate. I only have THREE weeks before the classes are done and I make my final trek to Anaheim for my last required Colloquium (and hopefully see some friends in the time I am there).
I have also interviewed for two Asst. Professor jobs; one was in Ohio. Now, the though of moving again stinks, but it is a Community College and I would be the Psychology Department Chairperson. I was pretty excited just to get the interview, so if it doesn't happen I won't be too crushed. The other is at the local university that I teach. They want an Asst. Professor and being that they just increased my class load from 1 to 3; I think they like my performance.
So, I'll keep you posted on the outcome. I would like to say hello to those that DO read my blog. Sorry it's been so long!
