Leaving my paraprofessional teaching job

I have to get this out of me so I figured I'd get it out here. I HATE SCHOOLS! From the pay , to the admins. It sucks so much. Never ever go into a teaching job. Just don't. Let the parents figure out that shit on their own. I had been having a good work life for 3 years. I was set into the class I liked and enjoyed. Didn't pay enough ever but I at least enjoyed it. I was there for the long run because I was settled in and comfortable. Then admin goes around saying they aren't going to let anyone go or move anyone. Thought it was weird but whatever I'd been there 3 years I was a regular in that school. So there I was on my last day before summer break. My boss from my sped department calls me and says I'm fired…


I have to get this out of me so I figured I'd get it out here. I HATE SCHOOLS! From the pay , to the admins. It sucks so much. Never ever go into a teaching job. Just don't. Let the parents figure out that shit on their own.

I had been having a good work life for 3 years. I was set into the class I liked and enjoyed. Didn't pay enough ever but I at least enjoyed it. I was there for the long run because I was settled in and comfortable. Then admin goes around saying they aren't going to let anyone go or move anyone. Thought it was weird but whatever I'd been there 3 years I was a regular in that school. So there I was on my last day before summer break. My boss from my sped department calls me and says I'm fired 2 hours before I'm done. Says I can move to the high school if I so wish too. Or free to find other employment. In a panic I said yes to the highschool move. But I did not want to go there one bit. I knew the kids I just sent from my middle school would be there and I had just gotten done with them. I spent a year of it scared because there was a kid that would attack you if you gave him your back any time. My coworks and I understood and protected each other from that kid. To be told hey you know what you're fired and you can go work with that kid at the high school some more. I went into job search mode. I also knew akids mom and sister work at the school in the sped department I'm in. They are not very nice people. Always gotta get the last word in and call you names. They had already complained to the district and called us so many names. I'd now have to work with these two people. That spent their whole time gossiping about others. I went in today to my first day back. No one from my department came up to say hello or invite me into the classroom. I sat alone in what has to be the strangest thing to happen to me as an adult. During my lunch I got a call from a job I'd apply to that had the same benefits as I currently had or close enough. And I accepted it. I start in two weeks. I won't be giving the school two week notice. I'll just be using my sick pay and personal pay till I run out and never respond to their shit. The feeling I'm having is almost euphoric. I didn't know I was carrying such a heavy thing but I feel lighter and instantly less stressed.
