Teaching contract non-renewal?
88481
Well, that would depend on WHY your contract is not being renewed.  If it is a result of something like downsizing, elimination of position, etc, then it wouldn't hurt.  But if it is a result of poor performance or a discipline issue, then it could hurt you if you plan on still teaching.

You are using short term insurance in the wrong way.\nIt is not really meant to be renewed but rather as a bridge between more permanent employer-sponsored plans.\nIf you need to do this however, you may be better off signing up for a new policy with a new insurer that takes effect the day after the old one expires.  That way you solve this problem.

I agree with the other posters - this may be mostly a union issue.  They need to present the case to their union rep before considering a lawyer.  They need to check what their collective agreements say about supervision and evaluation.  If what has happened to them is outside the collective agreement guidelines then they may have a case.  However, in my experience, most teachers are not evaluated to the degree allowed within collective agreements, so what has happened to them may actually be within the guidelines, but just not usually practiced.  Administrators seem to have a lot of leeway in determining the extent of evaluation that happens.\n\nAnother factor is whether they are probationary or beginning treachers.  Often the evaluation guidelines are different for beginning teachers.  In some jurisdictions almost anything can be permitted in the first two years of a teacher's career.\n\nI hope these thoughts help.

I wouldn't bother taking it to court. There's no way to prove that it happened unless the person is honest enough to say that he did make a verbal contract with you and he didn't follow through with it. I doubt that will happen, though. You really should have made a contract on paper.

There's not a contract as in a signed one, but in this case there is a contract under the UCC.  This is especially true since both the parties are merchants who have a good deal of knowledge on the subject at hand, however since the merchant selling the books made a counter offer (the change in shipping price) the buyer must accept the counter offer for it to become binding.  ie If they don't wish to pay $6/bk for shipping they must not take the books, otherwise they are consenting to the counter-offer.

Yes, they do it on cars. try "your ad here" on the net. I see this all the time. Just make sure they will remove the advertising when the contract expires.

no dont desert..it WILL ruin your life.  If you reenlisted 5 years ago you shouldnt have much left on your current contract...just stick it out and then ETS.

I don't know if you can change a contract once it's signed.  A contract is pretty much a legal document that prevents either of the parties changing the terms mid-stream.

they have to be non-used for selling them as new.

still gotta pay.  you take the class and they withhold judgement, if you dont get another in a year it goes away, off your record.

If you have a contractual agreement, you should be able to confirm what they can and can't do. \n\nIf not, walk away.

It is not important to follow a plan in the day-to-day teaching of the class.  However, certain things need to be taught in order for the class to be accredited.\n\nI have had wonderful teachers that had no structure to their classes, other than an outline of which chapters we were going to be tested on.  We covered the material we had to, then we were allowed to ask questions about anything else regarding the class.

I signed a contract for a fitness club too last year and immediately regretted it.  They didn't mention it to me, I had to ask but I did have a three month grace period where I could break my contract,(which I did) and I lost my initial fee, but that was it.  I am Canadian; I don't know if you are, and if the laws are different.  Call them up and pretend you are a possible new client and ask if they offer a trial period or some way to get out of the contract if not satisfied.  Also check  the  fine print maybe it says something there.    Good luck they sound like bully's, it's just wrong

Write them a letter... Say your thinking of using their  book for a course you are teaching and ask for a copy... They should send you a complimentary teachers edition...

The best answer I could possibly give would be to consult with the teachers association as well, possibly the school board. This is a tough spot your in and I understand you are at a loss as to what to do but those are the only options you have unless you take legal action.

Maybe try www.elance.com.  They have a listing of people who do contract work.

The school board should have a blank one, if they do not, or you are part of the board, try the neighboring school.  You need one that fits the needs of your local rules.  ANd a contract is a good idea.\n\nOh that is more clear....well, I looked it up and cannot find one just on the net.  IT is probaly in a legal software program someplace, sorry.  It is out of my league and hubby is family law.
