Just got a call from my principal asking if I can start today

I'm in the process of moving out of state to be closer to my kids. I put in my resignation at the end of July and am supposed to start at my new school in late August.<br><br>I got a call from my principal asking if I can come in today (I only live 20 minutes away although I won't be here next week) as they have no one to cover afternoon duty in my room.<br><br>I told her I haven't been in the classroom in 2 weeks, my keys are packed up and I really don't feel comfortable doing this without a stipend or something. She put me on hold and someone else called me back and offered me $50 cash to come in.<br><br>I told them NO and if I end up finding out that the kids are roaming the halls because no one is covering my room after lunch, I will contact the school board and express my disappointment.<br><br>I love this school and the kids but I feel like I've done nothing wrong by leaving after 10 years. I'm just tired of the system and lack of support in our state for teachers.<br><br>I'm in the process of packing my house to move and also trying to find a place to live. I feel like this is petty to try to guilt me in to coming back. I also feel they think I am being paid way too much if they think $50 is enough to take away from all I have going on.<br><br>Am I being a jerk?<br><br>Edit: I think some people are confused. I am still in the area, but have resigned from the school. I have kids in this district and while I don't want word to get out that I'm a total ******* I do stand by my decision to leave the district. I have made it clear that I am not in a position to do this (I currently have a contractor in my house redoing my floors at this moment) and it would be a huge inconvenience for me to drive to the school and do this for $50.<br><br>I also pointed out I DID look into and subbing is a little different and I would have to go through a background check and be added to their sub list which I would rather not do.<br><br>I feel like I did my part by being there for 10 years.
