Teacher Being Bullied :(

I started a new teaching job and from day one, people have been horrible to me. I'm constantly ignored, excluded, and set up to find myself in the line of fire, but there's nothing concrete, and no proof. The atmosphere in the place I'm working is terrible, and I just don't know how people put up with this on a daily basis. There's a real shortage of jobs, so I can't change just yet. I feel like I'm going to be in this situation forever!

Help For The Teacher
by: Rosalea

It is regrettable that you ended up with such a horrible job. Someone recently gave ma tip for another issue that might just work with this. Find time to speak privately with each person and ask for their ADVICE on what they think you should do to improve the situation. If they still shut you out, it's time to move on. But most people respond well to being asked for their opinion, and I bet you crack the ice! Please let us know!

Bullied by Team Members
by: Anonymous

I experienced the bully tactics of my "fellow" teachers when I tried to enforce campus expectations of dress code and behavior of students. My fellow teachers disagree with the dress code and think students in Middle School should "express their own style." They say students should be allowed to wear whatever they want. When I gave the same consequences to certain "pet" students whom my fellow teachers allow to ignore any and all rules, I was branded a racist and every four letter word in the book.

You can not weed out the bully culture among students until you do so among the teachers. From my experiences, schools with high bully incidents among students also have several teachers and other staff whose bully tactics are ignored.
