Today, my friend's dad found out he was getting fired after working as an English teacher, stage manager, drama teacher, and stagecraft teacher for years.

They really didn't need to fire him. He's a great teacher and the majority of the student body really likes him.

We got a new principal at the beginning of the year. She has taken it upon herself to review each teacher and decided whether to keep them or fire them. Most of my favorite teachers have no idea if they are going to be rehired next year, and most of the teachers that really can't teach have still have a spot in the school. So far this year she's gotten rid of three teachers and two staff members. We only have about 30 teachers and staff members at the school.

The principal has also made some other unnecessary changes. She has a set number of service projects that the school can undertake (It's a Catholic school!) and it takes forever for a teacher to meet with her (One of my teachers had to make a meeting one month in advance). I've seen her only a handful of times, but she has made such an impact on the school.

A lot of people are upset, and I have no idea if there is

My friends, this is the hidden agenda of Catholic schools.
