These are the last few moments that I have access to my Savannah Tech office. I have "done the rounds" and said "good-bye" to all my closest friends here -- no tears, just joy. Many of them asked if they could go with me -- which bespeaks the state of morale here.
Leaving STC is easy -- but not for those left behind. For them the "greener grass" on the other side of the fence always beckons. As it should. Right now this is a "deprived place" to work -- low salaries, good students, very little hope of upward mobility, or positive change --- especially for the faculty and low-level administration.
Given the budget cuts, hiring freezes, and general stupidity in the State Legislature of Georgia (too many Republicans! too many Trumpians!) -- prospects for the future of Georgia education, on this level at least, are slim to none.
So, RESIST while you can, as you should!!!
