I'm a first year teacher, started late February and to say it's been tough is an understatement. I have low students and mainly behavior problems. My neighboring teacher though, has been the biggest obstacle. She is extremely negative about the school, administration, and my mentor. She is always in my business telling me what to do and what I'm doing wrong. I am a positive and passive person and I can't stand this person. I had some harsh words with her today, and although I feel bad about it I couldn't take her anymore. My mentor teacher just tells me to ignore her, but it's difficult to do that. I just want her gone from my life. Trying to just teach is hard enough! Any advice?

Some people approach life and or their jobs in a very bitter way. It sounds as if she's also approaching you in her negative way and it finally got too much for you.

It's better to avoid such people but that's not always possible to do. Has it gotten better since you spoke harshly to her?

I hope...See More
