I can't rule it out. We don't have keys for any of the cabinets or desks, so I couldn't lock them up anywhere. The kids have stolen several teachers' phones/iPads/laptops, so I know not to leave them sitting out. Security can't confiscate them due to a liability issue, which I think is BS. The kids sit in class all day with headphones in their ears. The "respectful" ones put their hoods on or collars up to conceal them. The majority sit there in the open during my lessons with them out. The true deviants will play music or videos without headphones in the middle of class and dare you to try to stop them. One of our teachers was punched after confronting a student about it. That student received a few days of suspension and came right back.

As an aside, you do know that is a union contract violation? You are suppose to have somewhere to lock up items. Quite a few school are in violation in this area.

I wasn't aware of this, but I honestly don't think anyone would do anything about it. The majority of us don't have a place to lock things up. I was also told I'd be paid for staying late for tutoring or giving up my planning period for meetings. That hasn't happened.

Uhhhh that is completely unacceptable. You need to contact your building rep ASAP and let them know.

Bring these issues up at the next WTU meeting and invite the Liz Davis and Candi Peterson to attend. Be willing to document instances of your hostile work environment

Probably doesn't compare to what was going on across the park at a "highly regarded" Ed Campus!
