I have been in a post-graduate Principal Certification Program for the past year and a half.
Last January, I had a feminist professor who railed me the entire term then gave me a "C,"
which put me on academic probation.
(In grad school you must carry a "B" or better or go on academic probation. The second "C" or lower grade will get you kicked out of grad school with no refund.)
They put me on academic probation, and seemed happy to do so.
The women were both white, the professor was also an idiot and a total witch. I guess she figured she (and her ilk) worked so long to get white conservative men like me out of power, she wasn't about to let another one back in. I have been seething inside for the past year over this.
The Dean took the professor's position, which really pissed me off, but I kept my cool and went with it. (This was a girl's college for 95 years before letting in men 8 years ago, so is embedded with feminists, etc, etc.)
They thought they had me, but I buckled down for one class in Spring II, and then four more independent-study classes (two in Summer and two this Fall). I got "A's" in all five classes.
One of my classes this Fall was my internship, which my principal agreed to proctor,
then last week, when I asked him to write an evaluation, he gave me the run-around.
I thought this would fuck up my grade and was pissed (just one more brick in the wall,
so-to-speak) but I just got my grades last night and both were "A's". In fact, all five of the classes I took since the "C" grade, I received an "A." How's that for "in-your-face!"
So this Monday I asked the Dean about repeating the "C," which last year she said I would have to do in order to graduate. Problem was, the school didn't offer that class next Spring or Summer, so I was fucked. She wrote I would have to take it at another school and transfer it. WTF!!!
I figured, these people are taking this feminist shit way over the top, still kept my cool (on the outside), but was seething on the inside.
Then she invited me to meet with her Thursday (yesterday) at 5:30. I was fuming, because this delay also put me into late registration which was another $110.
I went to the meeting but kept my cool. I told her I contacted one school but they didn't have a parallel class, so she went on the computer to check another school.
After having some trouble accessing the page she asked, "Are you still planning to continue on for your Master Degree of Educational Leadership?"
I replied, "At this point, I'd just be happy with the Principal Certification, besides, I already have two Master Degree's, if they don't want me after all that, another degree won't matter."
She said, "Well, if you're not going for the Educational Leadership degree, you're fine!"
"What do you mean?"
She said, "Well, you have 7 "A's" and one "C," your cumulative average is 3.72, and with that you can get away with a "C" because it's not a degree program, it's just a certification program." "You are done!"
WOW, I was so relieved from being released from the pressing bullshit, amazed there were still people able and willing to "rise above it," I felt like screaming.
Damn, I started college in 1980. It's been 30 years and for 15 1/2 of them I was a full-time college student, now I am finally done, except, to get a full certification I still have to take the state exam. (I can do that).
I am so relieved that I don't have to worry about making other people happy or satisfied anymore, or that they can't make me jump through so many debilitating and debasing hoops anymore. I finally arrived, where, exactly I won't know until I weigh all the options, but the point now is that I have those options. I can't believe I did it, so many years of stress and worry and wondering if I could go the distance, and here I am, just one test away from the next level.
My faith in human nature has been restored.
I will no longer, ever be ashamed or afraid to show I possess what Progressive Liberals consider the seven deadly sins. Those are: being white, a man, a veteran, and athlete, in a fraternity, straight, and without a nose ring."
Today is indeed a great day!
Fuck all, now I can get massive again...
