[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I worked at a horrible elementary school, where the teachers were both inept and unkind; the principal was a bullying incompetent, ineffective micromanager, and the kids were "tough" kids, very much because of the horrible way they were treated, but also some of them did come to our school with many emotional and behavior issues. The whole day was chaotic from beginning to end, and I started developing very bad stomach and digestive issues, Mon-Friday. I had constant loose stools, pains, etc. I went to my doctor and she wanted to prescribe different tests for Crohn's disease, celiac and IBS; but I thought it was just too coincidental that the symptoms only started when I began working at this horrible school, and also that they subsided considerably over the weekend. So I transferred to a better school and my symptoms all were cured.
I still feel horrible about the kids who were forced to attend that school, but as a new teacher I was not in any position to be able to effect any kind of change.[/quote]

I am a teacher and although my admin was incredibly supportive, my first year was at a really tough HS.  I couldn’t sleep, stayed up all night lesson planning and panicking.  I started snorting painkillers on the weekend to numb my anxiety.  Several people quit mid year- it was a really rough school.[/quote]
