Mysterious Teaching

Insights behind the perils of being a teacher

My Confidence is being crushed!

I am beginning to feel like I am the worst teacher on the planet.  I have been told repeatedly by Monkey Poop that I do everything wrong.  I said "good morning"  to her this morning and she just Humped by me and didn't reply.  I thought by listening to her list all my failures last night, I would be done with it for a while.  I thought she would let me off the hook and I could feel good about myself for a short while.  But, NoooOOOOOooooooo!

I am still a screw-up according to her.  I cancelled our intervention time at the request of another of our team teachers.  We are switching the groups around on Monday and we have to make arrangements for materials and everyting so why bother starting something new?  I thought that sounded reasonable and so I let the other teachers know.  However, MP sent her students for intervention time anyway.  I had to send them back.  (I told her too that we were cancelling it)  She stomped into my room and let me have it.   I looked at her and said, I told you this morning before school.  She just stomped back out.

I am starting to take this crap personally.  I know I shouldn't but you can't help it when someone keeps repeating the same mantra at you for weeks on end.  I haven't found one single thing that makes this woman happy.  Not one.

No matter what I suggest, she is not happy.  I know she is the kind of person who will never be happy but why share your negative feelings with the world and make them unhappy too?  I am generally a very contented person.  She is ruining my contentment.

About MysteryTeacher

I am 53 years old and have been teaching for 20 years this year. I have two daughters and two grandaughters and two son-in-laws, all of whom I adore. I love to travel with friends but I am now saving for retirement in about 14 years. I am becoming technologically educated. Since digital is the 21st century than I believe that teachers should too. We need to be educated enough to understand our students. I have a teaching degree, a masters degree, an ESL endorsement and a Gifted endorsement.
