Another bad day at school

[Kteacher]

I just don't get it I give 110% at school every day. the classroom teacher has missed about a third of the year so far. After being out for a week with me taking care of everything I came in to work to find a note on my desk with the hours she would be in the classroom today. There was a non-mandatory workshop scheduled that she promised yesterday she wouldn't be attending since she had missed so much school. Well, she scheduled herself in the classroom for about an hours worth of classroom time, didn't tell the secretary so she wouldn't be marked as out of the classroom (thus leaving me with no coverage, and no sub pay ) I showed the head secretary the note she left, and she is making sure I get sub pay for today. Then this woman leaves another note for me telling me I need to finish 2 projects she started but never finished -one required curriculum- and that WE need to get busy so they get done. I felt like saying to her, "who do you mean WE, kimo sabi?"
She hasn't filled in the student teacher's evaluation yet, and the student teacher won't pass the class unless it's done. She hasn't done my evaluation yet, which was due over a week ago
I'm starting to seriously think about asking to be transferred to another position. I do have some seniority, but I hate the thought of "bumping" someone. I guess what I really want to know is how can people treat someone they work with like this????

Sounds very frustrating!!! What a slack teacher!! At least the end of the year is coming.

That's too bad. Sounds like you're being taken for granted. As a sub, I know how that feels some times. {{{{{{HUGS}}}}}

OMG!! I can't believe how some people treat their assistants! I have an assistant and I would never do that to her! You sound like mine, you do everything that needs to be done and then some, then for her to act like that is unacceptable. The girl I used to teach with would do things like that to her assistant (type notes for what she wanted using bullets and formal language with stuff spelled out like the woman had never made a copy before in her life!) and because of that her TA never went above and beyond because she knew it wouldn't be appreciated! thank goodness we have a new teacher and that TA is invaluable to us!

Find some one to work with will respect your role in the classroom and give you the credit you deserve!!

good luck to you!

And I thought I had a bad day with the class from hell last block. I am so sorry that this teacher won't take responsibility of teaching and doing her planning and paper work herself. Their are somethings that can't be done by an assistant and she is taking advantage of you. I'm glad you let the office know and you will get your sub pay.
