    Default Public School Bad References

    Does anybody have experiences to share about public school teachers in Texas who resign, then when trying to get hired again, receive bad references from the principal at the school resigned? I suspect my former principal is angry that I resigned his school because he took it personally and thus, is giving me a bad reference when he is called by prospective principals whom with I interviewed.

    It is not illegal to give a bad reference as long as the facts stated are true and all else stated is opinion.

    Agree, a former employer can give an "adverse" reference as long as it is true or is their honest opinion of what they believe to be true.

    Do you know for sure that he is giving bad references & that is the reason you aren't being hired?

    True, it's not illegal for anyone to give a bad reference, but in order to have your new employer get a feel for what you are really like, explain the situation to them and then get references from other administrators in the school you worked at.
