This petition was made to show the voices of those who would like to keep Dr. Tubb, one of the best and longest running teachers, at Hillsborough. Dr. Tubb applied for a drop retirement plan given to government workers about 5 years ago. He also recently applied for an extension to continue teaching but says it is unlikely it will be granted. I asked his permission to make the petition prior to its creation so it would not undermine his own desire, if he wished to, retire. Dr. Tubb's ability to make math understandable and accessible to any one deserves to be recognized by honoring his request to remain at Hillsborough. Dr. Tubb is undeniably one of the best teachers I've ever had and has been able to help almost all IB kids who have gone through the program. Please help out by signing the petition and spreading the word!

We just hit 250 signatures and the administration cannot ignore us anymore. It is time for the district leaders to explain why they want to push out a legend like Dr. Tubb while our students suffer for it.

The administration at Hillsborough is stalling while Dr. Tubb waits for an answer on his extension. We need to hit 250 names immediately so they stop ignoring his value to this school. Send this link to everyone you know before they make a final decision that hurts our students.

The administration at Hillsborough is ignoring our demands and pretending they can just push out a legendary educator like Dr. Tubb. We need to hit the hundred signature mark immediately to show them we are not backing down on this decision. Get this petition in front of everyone you know right now.

Dr. Tubb is one of the most meticulous teachers I have ever met. I would be hard pressed to trust another teacher with my IB education, particularly with concern to the math IA.
I love dr.tubb, I've had his class for 3 yrs, and he's a wonderful teacher. I've learned so much from him these past few years, and I don't think I'd understand math as well if he wasn't the one teaching me math. It'd be a shame for the HHS IB math department to lose Dr.Tubb this early!
My daughter has already had too many new teachers in the first two years of this program to the point it has jeopardized her grades. The math teacher she had this year was so horrible she got her first C in her life! It would be a detriment to her education in the IB program to have Another new teacher, a more experienced teacher is the only option. This teacher knows the program and the IB exams and a new teacher would have a learning curve and frankly I am really tired of my daughter's future being put in the hands of these inexperienced teachers, I think the Sophmore class has dealt with enough inexperienced teachers and the school and district should do whatever necessary to keep this experienced and great teacher.
He's the only math teacher that took the time to help ALL students actually UNDERSTAND the math instead of just rushing through and he still managed to teach us everything we needed to know for exams.
I had Dr.Tubb as a teacher and adviser for numerous subjects throughout my high school career. He has been nothing less than spectacular at teaching me math and I felt that there is still much to learn going onto senior year. I would greatly appreciate if he could remain at HHS to continue teaching to better my fellow piers and I in the same way we have been learning from him this past year. I don't think he should be forced to retire if he wishes to continue teaching. Thank you.
Dr Tubb is the best math teacher I have ever had please allow him to stay!!!
I'll be super sad if we have to take studs next year without such a great teacher like Dr. Tubb

Dr. Tubb was never a favorite teacher of mine, but he did inspire me to break limits and to do what makes me happy in order to really be successful. Not just that, but he's an amazing math teacher and a really important member of the faculty at HHS. He's genuine and honest about helping students, and he takes pride in the school and his teaching. He deserves to stay, 100%.
