On Meditation:
“Still the mind… empty the mind, relax. Look at yourself as a third eye from above and be aware of where you are in this cosmos – that you’re just a little particle. Get a sense of proportion that you’re just a little bit of this huge universe. Ignore your face. Ignore your body, and when you are deep in meditation, forget everything.”
“I believe we should teach meditation in schools because that will save going to the doctors, taking Valium or whatever.”

Is it this bad in every school? 10-15 people on sick leave/CCL/other kind of leave every day and many on late arrival. There are also many on course and made worse this term because of the SYF and sports competitions. I am doing relief almost 2-3 times every week. There are many FAJTs and RTs but they also take leave!
It makes me feel that the responsible ones are the ones being "punished" for showing up.

If you are doing well in other areas / previous years, taking on this additional duty is likely to do you well, even if you're not the main IC (could even act as a tie-breaker sometimes).
If you're not doing well, then you're probably just nominated to make up the head count.

Most if not all schools abhor disloyal pigs.
The same applies in the HQ.
This is no charade.

If you don't clear the SH interview, you will remain as a teacher. Whether you stay in the same school or not depends on the staffing needs. You may be put up for interview again in the future if your current school/one of your future schools deems you ready.
