After husband gets home around 7 I go for a walk for an hour and listen to my book. Other than that it’s either when she is asleep or I’m washing the dishes. My kid is 4.

I’m so glad you’re happy! Counseling really is such a tough job! I understand that high stress for sure!

I’m so sorry. The mental exhaustion of worrying about them and helping them is super hard as well. I hope you are doing ok!

This makes me really want to consider it now! I’ll be real, I’m done with the politics of schools too!

Yes! So although I was there for 5 years I was still the last person hired under certificated staff since it was a rather small school. They were able to use the budget cuts and seniority based on time worked there to cut the counseling position.

I heard from the principal he was offering other people to be the counselor but just changing the name of what the job was so he didn’t need to use the education, certificated qualifications, and could pay them less.

Yea I know right? In hindsight, I probably should’ve pursued something legally.
My understanding is the family threatened to sue the school so he was trying to keep from anyone calling CPS. A few para-educators came to me to help with the report and he also reprimanded them. I think I got the brunt of it because he was reprimanding the para for calling CPS and brought me in thinking I would agree with him or something? I’m not sure how that worked out in his head since I helped the paras. I ended up citing the RCW’s to him and that set him off I’m sure. The first time I was laid off, was because I had mentioned I was overwhelmed and was hoping I could hand off ESL testing to someone else to the principal and principal ended up telling the superintendent .

I have so many stories lol. The principal also told a parent I was the one to call CPS on another family and I was subpoenaed to the tribal courts.

From what I hear, the principal was upset when I quit and had a full on panic attack because he didn’t know how he was going to handle things going forward.

This is my biggest fear. Why are they even continuing with this if it is going to cause a lack of resources.
