Are you able to apply around to other school jobs that pay better or at the very least are closer to you so you don't have to pay all that money in gas? It might help to put some feelers out. Even if you interview for a new company/school, it doesn't mean you'll have to take the offer.

I hope things calm down for you!

Thank you for your reply.

I have tried and the only position I can apply for is the one I'm currently employed (the government will pay you the same, regardless of what school you're at) as due to not being a qualified teacher yet. It's so silly and time consuming.
