S.H.
You teach advanced level courses. Have been for 8 years.
The other teachers "want an opportunity to teach them..." So half your courses were given to the other teachers. Without your knowing. The Administrator made the decision.
How do you know this? From the staff person.
Thus, your class load is lessened? How is this, impacting the organization of the grade level, and of the advanced level classes, and how it is facilitated... per the school system's curriculum requirements and the Department of Education?
Is this a public or private school?
Is there even enough advanced level students, to warrant MORE advanced level courses, with the other Teachers???
You barely took any time off, when you had your son. And per your daughter, went back to work at only 3.5 weeks post birth.
But, per FMLA laws, a person who had been employed long enough, gets Maternity leave and maternity pay. Did you not get this? Did they force you to come back to work so soon after giving birth? Or was this your decision?
Your courses... were given to other teachers.
I know, this stinks. Because you have been teaching it for so long.
But... like in any corporation or organization, things can change and the flow of it. And some companies, have total ownership... of its materials and anything that has to do with the job and its organization. And also, IF other teachers wanted to ALSO teach advanced level courses, how come they couldn't, previously???? For 8 years, no other Teacher or Teachers.... taught these courses. How come?
But, if this was done out of maliciousness or discrimination... it has to be proven. In order for it to fall under, the laws of discrimination.
Something very special was taken away from you. Your courses. And it is now being dispersed to other teachers to teach too. So you are experiencing a type of "mourning" about it. Plus... it was NEVER discussed with you at all. And the Administrator totally disregards you. Probably because she knows she did something behind your back.
So she will continue to avoid you.
And yes, she is a chicken.
She is a coward.
And yes, no one told you anything.
So it is hurtful after all the dedication you put in.
Have they always been so insulting to you and your work?
Or is this the 1st time?
Maybe the Administrator is the only bad egg in this.
Don't let it negatively color, your view of the ENTIRE school and its staff.
Unless, they ALL have always treated you badly. All these 8 years.
Sometimes, it takes just one bad Boss... to ruin the entire workplace environment and well being. Others probably don't say anything, because perhaps... they fear for their jobs?
Is the work environment there this terrible? Or is it the one Administrator?
