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

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.
Also being bullied by staff

I am in the exact same situation at my school. Completely undermined by a staff member so I complained. Since then other teachers have turned on me, spoken rudely to me and some even ignore me. Some teachers have even been rude enough to discuss the incident infront of me in the staff room at the same table. I hear them and look at them and they stop. There is no antibullying policy at my school. If I could find a new job I would leave immediately.

I am in exactly the same situation and have been miserable in my current school since day 1. The LSA I work with is particularly difficult and constantly undermined me. When I raised this issue with her, she became worse and started turning the majority of the staff against me. I tried to mention my concerns to the head but I found that as this LSA had worked at the school for years, she took her side and gave the 'there's no bullying in this school' I ended up being off for around 7 weeks with stress. I did go back but nothing improved, infact, this week I found out that she had been gossiping to parents. I have had some members of staff tell me privately that they aren't part of the 'witches coven' but of course none of them will speak out because they don't want to risk their jobs. I even had to attend a health and safety audit where the head sat there and denied everything that had happened. She even had the nerve to say that she wouldn't deal with the bullying incidents because they were all in my head! It's a horrible situation to be in and has affected my previously successful career. Fortunately, I only have a few weeks left in that school. Nobody should have to suffer workplace bullying.

I was severly bullied by two teachers at my last school. WHen I complained. When the director of our school section (pyramid) came to talk to me..the other teachers found out somehow and pulled me into a restroom right before I was to meet this woman and threatened my kids (we know who your sons' teachers are so don't say anything or else>..) eventually, I was fired... (name of school removed) has a culture that allows this..It's been 2 years and I am still fearfur aI am suicidal over the loss of my career and income...
BULLIED DAILY
by: Anonymous

If it wasn't because of the bills I must pay, I would definitely not go to this job in which I feel bullied especially by my students who are so unmotivated to work or even try to learn anything in ESL class. This is the worse job I've ever had. It's not easy working overtime everyday and being undermined, underpaid, and to top that off-- even bullied by the students! I hate it. As soon as I have the opportunity, I'm leaving and forgetting about retirement. Nowadays, students have the right to do as they please in the classroom and those that want to learn have no rights from what I see. And the laws even protects these students that disrupt continuously. This has to be lived to be understood. What ever happened to vision and mission of education? Absolutely makes no sense whatsoever!
