Is there any point in doing this


  In May of this year, I was fired from a substitute teacher list.  I was (mis)lead to believe that I was doing well.  Suddenly, I get a letter in the mail.  It said (in my words): You don't meet the expectations of a substitute teacher.  You're fired.   (No Donald Trump comments, please.)  

   For some reason, I was looking at that district's website earlier today.  There's a need for tutors, and I considered at least inquiring about wether I have a chance to work for them again.  It seems most sensible to ask that before asking for more information about the job description, etc.  

  Do you think I should at least ask about wether I still have chances with that district?  Or am I wasting my time?

Of course you can ask them anything you want.  You have nothing to lose by trying to get back into the District.

But here's a little constructive criticism first:

As a teacher or any intelligent and educated professional who must communicate with others, please learn how to spell 'whether.'  It is not spelled 'wether.'  It is spelled  'w h e t h e r.'  The 'h' is silent!

Good luck, Sara!

I have to agree with BunzoZ on this one.  You really do need to learn to spell because it is vital to your performance as a teacher or tutor.
The reason I might seem to be a bad speller is I didn't run a spell check on the original post. 


And yes, I do realize the importance of spelling, etc. for education jobs. 


This post WAS spell-checked. 

Hey, congrats on finding the spell checker.  I think they should put it up on top with the important editing options.  Spell checkers can, unfortunately, provide us with a whole host of incorrect words to chose from and if we don't know which word is correct, we will still be guilty of misspelling words.  Ah, the marvels of modern technology.
Hee hee.  I celebrated with two screwdrivers.  (Eh, sort of.  I drank with my room-mate and two friends of ours) 

I was feeling quite lazy earlier.  That's why I didn't run the spell check. 

Anyway.....I've drafted an email to director of the HR department.  The basic content of the message is that I am interested in more information on the job description.   As my message stands, I said nothing about my substitute experience in that district.  The worst response I can get is something along the lines of  "You can't work for us because of your history in our district."

I need some kind of closure on this situation, so this could be my chance to get it.  
 


One of my pet peeves is when people don't practice what they preach....

Your point about the incorrect choices is quite true as well.
