[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You didn't share what was happening in your school.[/quote]

Ok, that's fair. Students who yell and curse at you. Students who are allowed by admin to not follow the rules that everyone else has to follow, which causes a domino effect as soon as one doesn't have to follow a rule. Once admin tells them they don't have to follow a rule, then they have zero respect for you as the adult in charge whereas admin comes in to "fix" the problem but then is nowhere to be found once they've created this detrimental dynamic between you and the student.  Students who scream directly in your ear when they don't like what you ask for them to do. Students who throw objects at you.  Admins who encourage teachers to put themselves between students who are physically fighting. Students who disrupt the learning environment nearly every day for the 20 something other students in the room and we're told to not do anything that will set them off --like complete their assigned work--but we're held responsible when they haven't completed assignments.

These are not students with IEPs or students who are allowed to be brought up for EMTs. Elementary school. -OP[/quote]

OMG, this is untenable. You should not have to suffer, and what’s worse, the other students suffer. Can you get the other teachers and the union together to organize a sit-out? [/quote]

The union is worthless. They will pretend like they are interested in hearing about it, but then will turn right around and tell your admin who talked to them. Then it's game over. There are always martyr teachers in the building who believe that they are betraying their students if they put their own safety and needs first, so not all teachers in the building would go along with a sit out or something of that nature. Then it creates a huge divide in the school and those people are praised while the others get labeled with being selfish and not caring enough about the students. -OP [/quote]

I’m the pp. This is worse than I thought. Have parents of the affected kids complained and pushed this up the ladder? [/quote]
