2. The problem with the appeal route...

a strict appeal really wouldn't help me much IMO. It would just put me back into the same position, while simultaneously costing me a great deal of money if I succeed (I can't work full time and student teach at the same time, I doubt anyone could, which means more loans). The appeal process also won't make the university too happy at me (of course neither would the lawsuit process, but there I might get more of a directive placed on my university). Beyond that it is April now, and they make people apply for student teaching in Feb., so it is quite possible that they have already placed people with anyone I would want, this is what happened last term and why I was placed at the last second with the least desirable teacher. I hate poopooing this idea, but I just don't see it working that well.
