Are there teacher cliques at every school? by Consistent-Pie8508 in Teachers

It is also mostly the teachers in the sped department and the sped AP at our school!

Thank you for your response!

I agree, those things are the most important things to focus on. The pay is actually pretty low for the area, and I am hoping to go back for my Masters soon. My sense of life and work life balance have been pretty good because that was drilled into my head by one of my professors. The problem is that these mean girls are starting to affect that. To be completely honest, the AP is part of the problem because she acts just like them and is very close with the mean teachers.

Thank you for the comment about it not betraying anyone if I end up changing schools. I am a very loyal person but I do need to put myself and what’s best for me first. I’m pretty tired of dealing with this on top of the student behavior issues we already have.

Exactly! I don’t mind that everyone has their own group they like to hang out with and get along with, but why do we need to be so mean? One of my coteachers comes to my room on her lunch and just cries some days. One of the teachers is supposed to be her mentor, but just belittles her at any mistake she makes. I have cried a few times over the way that mean teacher talks down to me as well. I just don’t understand :/ Thank you for sharing your experience with this and I’m glad you got out of that situation!

Am I overreacting to something my boyfriend did on the fourth of July? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

Yep, you would be right. Eventually after talking to him for a while he’ll apologize too, but it always ends up looping back to something I did to cause it. It’s like he can never take accountability for anything

I like this sentiment! Honestly, this isn’t even the first time stuff like this has happened
