Hi everyone,
I am a new teacher. Working in my 3rd year. There is a
colleague who I am working with who seems to be acting
bipolar by nature. I am working in a very low income school
with a needy and emotional population.
This person swings up and down EVERYDAY! The worst part is
, is that she can pull the principal strings. She has been
a bully over the past two years. She is the youngest
teacher at our school. However, often is found bragging
that she is a 'spy for administration'. I often feel
uncomfortable around her and bullied by her actions.
I wanted to speak with my principal about it but this
'girl' has back bit so many times that I am fearful of the
repercussions. She once bragged that she got the principal
to change a teacher's evaluation based on her personal
feedback. My prinicpal went down to this teacher's mailbox
and took out her evaulation and changed it. She was so
happy about this. I felt sick and sorry for the poor
teacher.
She has been known to cry her way to the top, throwing her
'colleagues' under the bus.
I thought we were friends, however, her attitude has
changed. She makes comments to teachers putting down their
clothes and the way they teach.
I have thought about leaving my job. I am not sure I can do
another year of this BS. She ACTS like she has your best
interests , however, the minute you turn she bites.
My colleague and I are planning on meeting with the
administration regarding this matter. Does this make me
like her ? Or is this the right thing to do?
