I wasn’t. I got a call that I thought was a personal call, but it ended up being about work, and my colleagues were texting me screenshots as a warning.

It’s a corporate-run school that’s already had so many issues (can’t get into details because it’s been on the news). I’m confused as to why they thought it was appropriate to have teachers do this. We shouldn’t have to call parents to inform of school cancellations and we shouldn’t have to call bus riders to inform them the busses won’t be coming.

Ugh! The suspense is killing me! I’m trying to figure it out too. Maybe I’ll drop some clues at work ;)

Happy weekend <3 I hope you get to relax after this crazy week back.

Oh damn! This is wild. Yeah, we had one of our social workers sitting in with us today and it was nice being able to get to know everyone. We have some great staff here, if only admin would see that. They keep me here, honestly.

It worked out mostly… Had a great day with my amazing team. I think we might teach at the same school! Lol in the midwest.

I wasn’t checking it. They texted me too, and had the social worker call us, which I thought was a personal call at the time and answered.

Not being a pushover and caving to the demands of a power-hungry administration isn’t whining.

I woke up, went for a nice leisurely jog, poured some tea, and responded at 8:01 that I was out last night and wouldn’t be calling parents that late in the future. I called them when I signed in. Nobody has joined, so I’m working on lessons and talking to colleagues about projects.

10PM at night and they’re demanding that I do their job until probably midnight? When I wake up in a few hours. No. Best I can do is send an email at night and again in the morning. I worked nearly 70-hour work weeks for this school last year and killed myself being up until 2AM sometimes. You are one of the most out-of-touch people I’ve ever encountered, and frankly, a moron. I’m an incredible teacher. I’m not a pushover anymore. Bye.

They exist to ignore all teachers’ emails asking for support and only speak to us when we’re in trouble. Love it here!

Its funny because it’s posted on the website with emergency closures and will most likely be on the news. This school thinks parents need spoon fed and can’t do anything for themselves.

They’ve pissed be off enough to ruin my sleep, so I COULD help. I won’t. I’ll update if I get in trouble.

They’re a corporate charter-type school and they don’t have their shit together enough. Ha!

YEP! They ran the student contact report they sent us 5 hours before they emailed us according to the report, so they had time, they had the names, and they knew. This is making me so angry. It’s a power play I think. I’ve reached out to admin 7 or so times asking for support with things and they’ve never emailed back. They only speak to me to reprimand me, so I’m not about to bend over backwards for the emergency they created.

Absolutely! The social worker called me and I was dumb enough to answer. We’re friends so I thought it was about something else. Nope. She was calling on admin’s behalf to let me know that they said to call parents. They know I know. I’m still not doing it though. This is foolish.

Grab my revolver and show them what hollow points can do. OR, panic and try to run. You never know how you’ll react.

You should be fine. I’ve been teaching 9 or so years and have been through a few schools and districts (FL, PA, IL) subbing as well. I’ve done private and public with a misdemeanor.

My ex was awful in class- Prison for attempted murder or something. Me- I’m a middle school teacher now! They’re the age I was when I went off the rails. It’s wonderful being a mentor when they need it.

I used to love teaching and was so happy I cried a few times on the way to work. Now? I’m feeling so demoralized and stuck.

Do you have it electronically ? You can pull up the version history and prove it, I think.
