No, I don't see anything in the contract about any ramifications if I break it. It's simply a one page paper (looks like a generalized form), that spells out what they're going to pay me, at what step and how often. Towards the bottom there is a statement that both parties will provide the other of 60 days notice of resignation. (in between the two parts is just more jargon with areas to be filled in for other positions (like pay, etc for admins), which don't apply to me.
That's pretty much it. It doesn't say anything (at least on the copy I have), about any penalties for breaking contract.
I am worried that they will try to sue me or take away my certificate indefinitely. Although I do not feel teaching is for me, I would prefer to still hold my certificate even if they only take it away for a year.
I've only been at the job about 2 weeks. Admittedly the work is overwhelming, which I assume you adjust to and find your balance. I honestly don't enjoy being in front of the class and teaching. I find no joy in it and it is making me miserable & ill. I'm afraid, however, that this will not be good enough cause for them to simply let me go. Especially mid year.
Thank you for any input.
