What if history repeats itself?

I have already filled up my transfer forms. But I am not the least happy. What if I couldn't get a transfer? Even if I get a transfer, so what? The next principal will send me to the gallows again if she knows that I am doing my PhD and the whole malicious cycle will repeat itself again. I honestly feel that the Education Ministry should come out with new rules and regulations to protect the rights of the teachers. Never allow the principals to sign the forms to get permission for further studies. Let everything be settled at the Education Department without letting the principals know anything about it. If the envious principals know anything about it the life of the teachers who further their studies would be at stake.

Is it a sin to go for further studies?

To date, I have been teaching in the present school for nine years. It was never my intention to leave the school. If I had a choice I would like to stay. But I have to leave. Why? Because I asked my principal to certify my certs for my application to do a PhD. I wasn't even sure if there would be someone to supervise me because my area of reasearch is rather unique. The moment I asked her to certify my certs, I was sent to the gallows.

Before I came to this school, I was teaching in a primary school. Immediately after I completed my degree course, I applied to do my masters at UM. But lo and behold, my headmistress said she wouldn't sign my application. I asked her why but she couldn't give a reason. She just said that didn't want to sign. I made a fuss out of it and told my colleagues that I would see the deputy education minister. She then signed my application reluctantly but I was blacklisted after that. But mother luck was on my side because I was transferred to this secondary school months later. And now it's time to leave the present school because of my intention to further my studies!
