    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?
