I’m OVER this

Let me preface! I love my job. I work Inclusion for SPED/504 in middle school. I love interacting with the students, teachers, and admin. My teacher in specific is what really irritates me. She’s ALWAYS in our room. Most times, with headphones in and always on the computer. She pulls kids out of the classroom for small group, hands them an answer key, and sits at her desk. She does this for testing too. I’ve reported this multiple times considering I’ve actually witnessed this, as has half of the teachers brought up the same concerns. Admin will not address the situation. She doesn’t follow crisis protocols. The issue with this is my students expect ME to do the same, handing them an answer key. They will ask me constantly if we can go to my room and give them answers. They don’t respect me or follow my directions because they know the SPED teacher can/will override my decisions.

She breaks confidentiality to talk trash about our students. She over accommodates every student. She cannot have a conversation with our students without getting two inches from their face to yell at them or insulting them. On an extra irritating note, she is “allergic” to everything. She asked me not to wear perfume, I can’t have candles or scentsy, she even complains when I heat up my food sometimes. The problem is that she owns a ranch, she’s a chain smoker and she SMELLS! She disappears with no warning, doesn’t communicate student needs or changes, and expects me to pick up her slack. She will have me fill out all her paperwork, organize it, deliver it. Most times, it’s over 6 weeks late. BUT ALL SHE DOES IS SHOP ONLINE OR FROLIC AROUND.

I am moving in 3 months so I’m not even concerned about any of this anymore. I just hate being a part of it.
