I Need a Listening Ear or Two.....

[Maria2013]

This morning I came into my classroom to find my director waiting to give me an earful in front of my students and a parent. My director told me that I (a state qualified ECE teacher) am no longer allowed to speak to any parents because she has gotten negative feedback about me from them. She called me ignorant and cut my already part time hours in half as punishment! I am not even "allowed" to remind parents about bringing diapers & wipes anymore because I am "ignorant" and thats not my place. My kids and a few parents made up for her rudeness & unprofessionalism by telling me how awesome I am and how much they love me.

Im really considering calling it quits or doing home daycare. I try my best to give a positive preschool experience for all my kids and to do right by them. But this incident today really has got me thinking. She has refused to give me support for the behavioral problems I have had to deal with and maintaining adequate classroom materials.

Im typing a possible 2 weeks notice tonight.

Ugh...I feel so disrespected.
Thanks for listening.

no one deserves to be called ignorant, I would have walked out

Thank you everyone for all of the tips and support. I was really upset about this because I do work very hard and go the extra mile for the kids and their families.
My boss has made some inappropriate remarks about me or my teaching style lately, but I just brushed it off to her just having a bad day or boredom....which is unprofessional as well. But this morning she showed her true colors and I will not work for anyone who thinks I am less than them and fails to treat me with respect.

Wow. You sure you aren't from nj cause my girl friend could have written that post. I can't understand how people like that keep their business open. You have to have some degree of management skills!
