What should I have one?

Post Reply New Topic

I worked at a school for the past three years as a Para(teachers aid) I was hired to run a reading intervention program and help out in the kindergarten class. The principal knew I was an AS. The principal that hired me left after I was hired to go to a new school. The new one came and everything seemed fine. the 2ed year I worked I was out of the kindergarten class but still running the reading program. The last year(the one I was fired) I was taken out of the reading program(it was given to 3 others whom never id it before) and into the lunch room almost all day and into a new kindergarten class with a new teacher that did not understand the program we were teaching with. Both the new teacher and principal were nice to my face (The principal telling me she was setting up an after school reading program for me to run. never happened. The teacher always smileing and telling me what she needs done) after about three monthes i started seeing the teacher was treating me different then the other para in her class. )I.E being sent out of the room a lot for paper work. Not being left in charge of the class, The other para knowing plans, meetings and traingings weeks before me) I tried to talk to the teacher about it, facw to face, emails AND notes on her desk. but she was always busy. some thing happaned and long sotry short I was taken out of the after noon class and put in the morning. Here it went down hill. she stopped calling me by my last name(she called everyone else by theirs) and started telling me step by step by step on how to do every thing. from how to set games up to putting paper into clar slips. Yet still not telling me about meetings or kids needing extra help or spacial treatment. one day she went to far and told me infront of some parents step by step what happens in a lock down/what a lock down was! I went to the principal and she set up a meeting. not only did they put everything on me for not following what the teacher wanted but did not even touch the fact she was treating me like I was 5 years old. at the same time in the lunch room there are these 5 kids who are the rudest kids you will ever meet with parents just as rude. Every day the principal would come to me and tell me a mom called and said "A para in the lunch room put my kid on the wall for...." A: throwing food, B: talking to my girl saying he does not like the book she is reading C: does not feel its okay for him to take the boys hats away D: told me girl if she kicks the table again will lose some play time

A: throwing food is breaking the rules.
B:they asked he if I liked the book and why I dont
C:I gave the boys 50 warnings about wearing hats inside. I dont give them time on the way for it AND I give the hats to the kids teacher as soon as I get it.
D: I had to talk to the mom and this one. the principal did nothing to hep me and told the me right infront of mom"from now on. you must come tell me what happened before you even think of warning a kid!" it was a warning.

right before I was told I was "being laied off" the 5th grade class had a music show I went to. I did not know that kindergarten did not go. The kindergarten had a melt down and told me infront of her kids "I pry to god I dont get you next year!" and wrote me a review full of lifes and things that made no sence. I was also given it three weeks after I was ment to sign it. and as so I was not aloud to add notes to it. I dont know what I should have done then and now and its driving me nuts.

Sorry about the long post I needed to get this out in the open.

I don't know what you should have done.... it really doesn't matter but all I can suggest is to look for a new job and move forward.

I think that you must move forward from this, and look on the bright side.
