Guest Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 sorry all but I just have to have a giant rant. There have been many issues at my current school, so much so I have had to leave as I just can't stand it any more. t seems to me that these last few weeks re being made particularly difficult for me. This morning after being off sick, I walked in to find the majority of the construction equipment have been taken by the FSL to sort and audit for September. When I queried this I was told that the children would manage and that I wasn't getting it back again! Just tell me how I am supposed to have self initiated learning in all areas if there's NO CONSTRUCTION!!!!! Arrrrrrrh. Everyday I think how can it get worse? And then yet another thing happens. Hate to think what the next thing will be. No good going to HT as she doesn't support me at all. Any ideas? Perhaps they will take the chairs next....or the children. That happened to another teacher that left! Help as I'm not sure I will make it to the last day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_13453 Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Just paste that smile on your face and carry on - the clock is counting down!!! You could ask all the children to bring boxes in and do some different types of construction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_11485 Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Sorry to hear you're having such a horrid time. Things are pretty bleak in my school at the moment, too. Really depressing atmosphere. At least we're miserable in the sunshine, though! And at least there is a bit of a countdown to help get you through. Have you got a new job to go to?

Guest Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 So sorry to hear what a horrible time you are having - just think its not that long to go now and as Cait said try to smile through it as this will probably annoy them more as maybe they are trying to provoke a reaction? That said - how much construction have you got - surely it wont take three weeks to audit that? I am FS leader in my school and wouldnt dream of taking things out of my teams classrooms - surely if she really does need to audit you only have to look? Chin up and try not to let them grind you down. Ems x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_21228 Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 as Cait suggests, hang in there! If you are leaving, you could always plan to do some of those things with the children that you always wanted to?? HAVE some FUN! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I would do some fun stuff but we are meant to be doing a transistion project this week so I have planned to use some of the construction. I would do junk modelling but my box of junk has also mysteriously disappeared! Ah the joys.......................but I am determined to keep that smile plastered on.
