Alabama Teacher of the Year Resigns After State Calls Her ‘Unqualified’
31st October 2015
Ann Marie Corgill was told by the Alabama Department of Education that her qualifications were not up to scratch, despite being 2015 National Teacher of the Year and 2014-2015 Alabama Teacher of the Year finalist. She is also the author of teaching book called “Of Primary Importance”.
Ms Corgill said she was tired of having to prove herself and did not want to pay more fees, and sent Birmingham City Schools a letter of resignation.
In the letter, first obtained by Al.com, she wrote: “After 21 years of teaching in grades 1-6, I have no answers as to why this is a problem now, so instead of paying more fees, taking more tests and proving once again that I am qualified to teach, I am resigning.”
Send your kid to a government school,
And he will turn out a fool;
That’s the way things are today:
Your tax bucks at work and play!
