I am asking for advice on a situation that I will describe below.
The principal of the school where I work had been making attempts to pick me up for some time.
About 2 weeks ago there was a situation where he was punched in the face by me in front of students for trying to touch me. He was not unkind to me for this. He seemed to understand my reasons.
I have worked as a teacher at a high school for three years. Today I have been informed by the principal that he cannot afford to employ so many teachers and therefore he proposes that I either take up a full-time position at the school or resign. On the other hand, he cannot fire me because I have signed an indefinite contract.
However, if I insist on staying I could get into conflict with the management, which destroys the atmosphere at work.
I also have another job (at university) so I am not materially dependent on my job at the high school. However, I treat it ideologically, as a form of mission. During these three years of work I have also become close to my students. I care about them very much, I know they like me, and I would like to see them graduate.
Taking on a full-time position is not feasible for me because I have another job, as well as studies and many academic and artistic plans.
On the other hand, I really don't want to leave my students. I feel responsible for their future. I have been thinking about organizing extra classes especially for them free of charge.
What would you advise me to do in this situation?
