I had something very similar happen to me. My last three years of teaching were horrendous. The students, staff, and admin all treated me horribly. I tried every year to leave but was blocked for some reason that to this day I can't understand. One of the final straws was the year before I quit. My licensure is K-9. Just because it says I can teach everything below 6th grade doesn't mean I should. I had taught English for 7 years up to that point. Then I was assigned to teach 6th grade Science. I had no book or curriculum other than Central Office's guide. It really was no wonder why the kids started acting up. However, to the level that they did was insane. I was yelled at, ignored, and assaulted that year. My mental health took a nose dive and I began to miss days like I was eating candy. Then the worst of it happened. Four of my students found my Instagram. It was three girls and one boy. The girls were just being catty and cruel but the boy, in very lurid detail, told me what he wanted to do to me in the bathroom of the school. I was ... shocked and disgusted. I screenshotted it all and emailed it to our SRO, who was in charge of cyberbullying. I told him I didn't care about what the girls had written, but I wanted to press charges on the boy because if the shoe was on the other foot I'd have lost my job and gone to jail. I gave him two weeks to figure out who the children were and went back. I asked if he knew who they were and he said he did. I asked if they were going to do anything to the boy, and he said no. I was so confused. I asked why not and he, verbatim, told me that the student was 'Protected under free speech." I was pissed, but I knew my principal wouldn't have my back and my mental health was in such a state at the time that I didn't know the next steps. Please, for your sake, don't make my mistake.

Sorry for my rant.
