A small complaint...

Okay, Okay...here's the deal. This past year I made proposals for two classes that I wanted to teach at GFA during the summer. One was a full-length Algebra course for credit and the other a course I made up called Algebra Refresher. Here is the problem, while the first course received a respectable amount of sign-ups, the second course only had two. When I told the powers that be that I wanted to cancel the course I was informed that I could not...because...wait for it...It is GFA's only remedial course. Holy crap, are you kidding me? I made the dang thing up, and now, because GFA arbitrarily wants to start a remediation program, I am being forced to sacrifice thirty hours of my time for an absurdly paltry sum of money...I would probably make more money if I took a job at Walmart collecting stray carts from the parking lot, delivering living room sets for Bob's Discount Furniture, or crafting tasty ice cream creations at Coldstone Creamery…Anyway, those jobs would probably be more fun and fruitful…
