jobs other than subbing

by Has anyone ever had a problem while working with a teacher

Jan 29, 2017

contracting group? I worked for a tutoring group for 5 classes before they let me go without any explanation. I did a lot of work for them and felt good about the work I was doing. Then out of the blue, after I set up the classroom and did the paperwork, I was let go. Is this typical?

Angie I am a retired teacher who has been subbing for 2 years. I can write a book about my experiences as being treated as a "nobody". I am very conscientious. I leave the room cleaner than I found it. I grade the papers. I sharpen all the pencils before I leave. I follow the teacher's plans and share my expertise with the class. I had subbed at a school...See MoreI am a retired teacher who has been subbing for 2 years. I can write a book about my experiences as being treated as a "nobody". I am very conscientious. I leave the room cleaner than I found it. I grade the papers. I sharpen all the pencils before I leave. I follow the teacher's plans and share my expertise with the class. I had subbed at a school last year more than 30 times. I accept the rough jobs many times. I arrived at the school last Tuesday to find that the class I had picked up that happened to be a gifted class that was a pleasure to teach; was given to another substitute.. I had spent preparation time the night before because the teacher had not left lesson plans the last tine I picked up the class. When I told the sub locator that I had picked up the class, she told me the computers went wild the day before. This was an excuse because the computers at the school have nothing to do with the district wide system of accepting jobs. I was told by a teacher at the school that the job was given to the principal's daughter. In the district in which I was employed for 30 years, relatives of the principal were not allowed to work at the school. I was placed in the media center with the librarian who asked me to file the hundreds of books back on the shelf. As I was bending up and down at a job a volunteer could do, I threw my back out and was in severe pain. I left the school after an hour and went home. I forgot to mention that the sub locator told me when I arrived that I could go home if I wanted. So there is a great deal of favoritism and nepotism going on in some schools. Of course, I will never return there but I am generally getting fed up with substitute teaching. At another school, a teacher told me she had requested someone else to sub for her. Obviously, this person canceled the assignment or it would not have appeared on my screen as an available job. As a teacher, I always treated the subs with respect. I really have a difficult time comprehending how I am oftentimes treated as a substitute teacher.

tjbteach it is quite common to be a mainstay somewhere and then all of sudden being let go. I don't quite understand why lies are necessary, but usually the truth avoids the person being let o
