I got accepted to teach in the public college in my City. Well, technically still under consideration. Evaluation was based on educational background, experience, and of course performance in the teaching demonstration.
However, the school is implementing a quite weird policy. To ensure acceptance, I need to get a recommendation letter directly from the Mayor before the issuance of notice of assignment. "NO RECOMMENDATION FROM THE OFFICE OF THE MAYOR MEANS NON-ISSUANCE OF TEACHING LOAD"
I'm trying to understand the logic behind the policy. But up until now, it sounds ridiculous to me. Isn't it that recommendation should come from people who can actually "assess" your capacities or "know" your background? The term recommendation is more appropriate for the interviewing body and the HR.
I think, recommendation is not the apt word. Apparently, the Mayor doesn't recommend. He approves.
Oh well, this is just an example of possible similar "policies" I might encounter. But I'm prepared (to challenge weird policies) as I really want to teach.
Is this really the way local policies are crafted/implemented?
