A pink slip merely means someone at the district (or charter school office) did not do their budgeting so well and you are being axed. As of March 2011, pink slips were still being issued based on tenure unless you work at a charter school and then it really appears some one messed up the budget and/or not enough students are choosing to come to your charter school. A pink slip does not mean you are a bad person; quite the opposite in fact. One of my close friends calls a pink slip something you receive from the universe to protect you from something worse and I believe she is correct. A pink slip can be a blessing if you allow it to be. Being fired generally means you are a bad person and did something naughty, up to and including having your teaching credential stripped.

It compiled data on every fatal car accident in the US recorded by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) Fatal Accident Reporting System f rom 2009 to 2013. The data includes driver, passenger, and pedestrian fatalities. The findings, shown below in map form, show what causes the most driving fatalities in every US state. In a majority of states, failure to stay in your lane kills the most people. The second-most-common behavior was failing to yield the right-of-way, the leading cause in seven states. To find out which states lead the country in each of these fatal driving behaviors, the Auto Insurance Center t ook the total number of crashes associated with each of these behaviors by state and divided that number by each state's population to arrive at a per capita metric for accurate comparison.
