Unfortunately, no. There isn't a union or anything like that and all the evidence at discrimination could really only be called circumstantial.
Of the last three teachers gone, all three, including myself, have been female...hell, even all their relief teachers are male now that I think about it.
I could just be reading something into it, but the dearth of females there has been commented on by quite a few people who've come to meet me after work.
With the other stuff they've been very, very careful. No names given, just "There's been some complaints"...and yet the body language I'm getting off my students doesn't read anything like what the boss was saying.
You know what really irritates me? My boss knew I was snowed under with Uni assignments (to the point he offered that Monday off to me so I could make a dent in my work). Did he call me on Monday and tell me all of this? Did I get any hints that there were any problems this morning when I came in (an hour early)? No, he waits until after work is finished to tell me that I'm not needed anymore...(and yet in the next breath tells me that they want to keep me on the books)
...I could've spent today doing assigments (instead of staying up until nearly 2am this evening to finish off a powerpoint).
