Argh!
May 28, 2005
I was able to go to bed early, but woke up about 11:00 and can't go back to sleep -- just tried, so I took a sleeping pill and am going to try again in a bit.
Right now, my biggest problem is that I can't get over how one individual treated me this year. She made my job infinitely harder by not doing her job, and she stood by literally and kept her mouth shut when someone else was tearing me down.
It's sad, because I've had respect for everyone else that's been in that position. In the past, I've worked with those people extensively for a mutually beneficial relationship for the school and the kids. In fact, I just heard from another person that the last person in that position thinks the world of me.
Yeah, this is real cryptic but I'm trying to work it out without revealing too much to the world. Lots of people have been hurt in the workplace by inappropriate blogging.
It was a good school year though, even with the problems. The test scores were actually very good, the kids that didn't put any effort in flunked, and the kids that did put effort in it did well. One of the things I like most about my district is that they hire teachers to write finals for all the courses. I know a lot of teachers don't like that, but this way, I know if I covered what I was supposed to or not. It would be nicer if I would know BEFORE the time the finals come out, but at least this confirmed it.
