Well I finally come to the final piece of my law attracting journey, and out of the three separate experiences I feel this situation, which has had the most impact on me, seems to be the least amount of what needs to be said or least amount of what I have to say.
Well………regardless here I go.
So after submitting my request to be transferred because their was no way I felt confident enough to do another year possibly with my “favorite lead/co-teacher” and generally I wasn’t to keen on how things were being run, later we learned that unexpectedly the Center director was being transferred to another site. I think back I think maybe I should have stayed since we would be getting another director, maybe things would be better now, but how could I know at the time. Anyway I had received my transfer to a near by center not to far. After meeting the staff everyone seemed generally nice and welcoming. With this change came another major change in the form of a new center director. Now she had been with the agency for some years prior as a fellow teacher as well as been a center director at another school, but now she was back to take on a new challenge of being the director for the coming school year. So yeah the job wasn’t exactly brand new to here but definitely would be a change and possibly have some challenges. As for me and my fellow co-workers we were quite unsure of how things would be with a different person in charge.
Even before the school year began prior to this I had already felt a pull to move on to something else. The motivation and excitement of the job was being slowly drained from me and this isn’t an uncommon system for teachers whom have begin to settle in, in a stressful or tense environment. Nonetheless I told myself maybe I will stick it out for another year, but before the next school year hits I will need to say my goodbyes. With that declared I began to simply just buckle down and push through it. Initially things seem to move along steadily nothing too major, just a new combination of staff feeling each other out and getting to know each others work style. Some of the other teachers and I did have some minor concerns with some of the decisions which were affecting us, we were being delayed in recieving our classroom assignments, this made it very difficult to set up brand new classrooms which would function best for the teacher. We also shard some concerns that our new director had a very defensive personality which did not always make her the most agreeable.Despite the daily tension we felt we pushed on.
After a couple months, then ce the morning which set in the countdown to my final moments as teacher.This particular morning we were very short staff on top of this it seems the kids just keep pouring in which would push us to be over capacity and over state regulated teacher to child ratio.With this another teacher decides to split the groups into another classroom.A while later our director finally shows up unfortunately she is not happy about the pressent situation we were in. Words were exchanged between the teacher and director as well as anamosity as far as I could see. A little while later I contact our superior(manager) expressing my concern and the fact that I was uncomfortable speaking with my director, in hindsight this apparently was a grave mistake. Our superior talks with all parties and apprently the situation is cleared up, with our director in a later staff meetind directing that please feel free to talk to her at anytime, or if not talk with the manager.After this I was under the impression that there is nothing elserious to worry about, well I was wrong.
For the next few weeks I was given the courtesy of experiencing every nag, complaint and reprimand for every single action I preformed in. I was either to early or late, not communicating at all or not the right way, not informing her of things when I was or not being prepared enough with the parents when told to do things together. I apparently could do absolutely nothing right.
Well I had apparently thought about moving on and I was finally going to be getting my wish, a little earlier than expected it would seem.Translation I was fired not to long after that. It wasn’t very surprising it was obvious I was not in my boss’s fan club and I was sure I was ready to leave soon I guess the universe decide to pull me in that direction a bit Donner than I expected. But hey that’s life or the law I should say you ….life puts out what you put in. I some how manage to attract negative things about myself in the form of others insecurity, lack of motivation and probably a horde of other things even though I see it as a learning experience when life is givin you a hard time she has her moments where she unexpectedly push’s you where you need to be.
