Supporting Education for the Rehired Annuitant

I am a rehired annuitant taking online Master's classes in Education which is what I was rehired to do. Teach. I was getting reimbursed for these classes, but was recently told that my classes should not be paid for if I am temporary. If I want these classes paid I would have to come back permanently. Can you look into this situation? My education would only help me develop and teach classes for the government and possibly be useful as others retire and do not return.

Well, who'd have thought? You kill a million babies a year, give or take, since 1972, and you end up with a shortage of adults in 2008.
No one could ever have predicted this.

hmm, one day the news tells us up to 1/2 the students in some high schools are not graduating. The next day we hear there is a major shortage of high tech workers. What a surprise. Could someone put this together, please. A trillion dollars spent here could send all of those kids to school. Bring our money home!!

Some local politician recently called Oklahoma high schools "Drop out factories". If parents, teachers & school board members would stop shifting the blame on the recent failures of our public school system and get back to the core values of teaching & leading, maybe some of these kids would have a brighter future, and maybe that would fill some of these positions.
