Dear friends from answerway, I'm going to ask you because I trust on you. I always feel better about myself after reading your answers.
You really help people, and you've been helping me through life so much that I feel like doing something for others too. Thanks God I learned English(my native language is Portuguese)otherwise I wouldn'have all this support in my life.
Here is another question:
I graduated at college five years ago. Since then, I've been teaching. The first course I left because the coordinator was abusive. I found another, in which I was approved to teach. At the beginning, I had some problems. Some of the students said bad things against me, but just because they were used to their former teacher. The principal reportted it to me as if I were guilty, and in order to keep the students*it was private) I had to read bad things about me. But I had got new groups who got used to me and they really liked me, so I decided to stay because of the new ones,
and as time passes by the others who hadn't started with me got accostumed to me and really appreciated me later.They continued the course and the other schools researches were highly favorable to me, earning an A score as a teacher.At the same time, I was called to teach at two other schools in the morning(this one i mentioned was in the afternoon and evenings).In these two other schools, I was replacing other people again.
In oine of them, the students were the"leaders"(because they paid the school, and the principal was a shallow woman), God knows what I had to put up with.Horrible, I mean horrible situations. The other school in the morning was ok at that time.
The fact is I had to miss because I got pneumonia.When I returned to that horrible place in the morning, I was dismissed, and I found another teacher in my place, without previous warning. Concerning to the other school in the morning, I got till the end of the year,but I had been approved to teach in the capital(where my family had moved,with my daughter, I was still living there because of the work, with my grandparents).At the end of the year, the principal of the other school in the morning told me they'd keep their former teachers(I had only two groups), of course. I'd leave,because I'd move to the capital, so I asked her if it had something to do with my work, she said no, otherwise she'd say, even for my professional growth, but it was a matter of organization.Later I found out she was looking for another teacher, and I thought she'd keep that group of teachers she had.So I talked to my mother and she told me while i was sick she had talked to the principal and she had told her I'd leave. So i thought that even so something could be wrong.And I continued successfully at the other course during the afternoons and evenings.The students there got really upset when they knew I'd move. They didn't want another teacher.Till today they end me e-mails and messags, asking foir my visit.They recorded a cd with songs about friendship, and my colleagues at work(teachers and secretary)did a farewell party to me, in which they cried too.
And as I told you I mived here to the capital.I was approves in a difficult exam and now I'm a statutory teacher.But I have two years of probatory process. I mean, I'm hired, but I'm still being analyzed. I work hard.I don't miss classes, I plan them carefully and I'm responsible wqith my deadlines(a colleague teacher of the same subject started to depend on me, my tests, I don't deny help, but the coordinator charges onlky me for the deadlines.He started being friendly, now he is showing an abusive side-an older teacher told me the coordinator position made him to lose the respect),and he even screamned my nme in the corridor(it was only to delkiver a bunch of tests to be corrected)the other teacher even missed without calling. I'm starting to think that people who are less responsible are more charged. And I live under fear, I don't know why, because I called to the syndicate and to be fired it's necessary to have a huge reason, like not teaching the contents, missing without justifying, what doesn't apply to my case.I think it's not easy to do something harm to me, but even so I'm afraid and the way sometimes he treats me makes me stressed.HWhat can we do to overcome this kind of fear? |
