Miserable at my job

So I’ve(m24) been a teachers assistant for special needs classes at the elementary level for two years now, this being my second year. We were having a great year at the school I was originally brought into when I was informed I was being moved to another school for “reasons” and was told that they didn’t know if it was permanent or temporary. Started at the new school yesterday and today the principal called me and the special needs director (the woman who moved me) for a meeting this morning. The principal basically belittled and dressed me down for not knowing the rules of the school and for “hurting the librarians feelings” for talking to another adult while she was teaching and “distracting the children”. I was also told I wasn’t doing my job in the classroom even tho I was given no instruction for when I got there and…


So I’ve(m24) been a teachers assistant for special needs classes at the elementary level for two years now, this being my second year. We were having a great year at the school I was originally brought into when I was informed I was being moved to another school for “reasons” and was told that they didn’t know if it was permanent or temporary. Started at the new school yesterday and today the principal called me and the special needs director (the woman who moved me) for a meeting this morning. The principal basically belittled and dressed me down for not knowing the rules of the school and for “hurting the librarians feelings” for talking to another adult while she was teaching and “distracting the children”. I was also told I wasn’t doing my job in the classroom even tho I was given no instruction for when I got there and basically ignored. My old teacher has been desperately trying to get me back and the director has been saying no because she knows she made a mistake and doesn’t want to acknowledge it. I’ve been miserable both yesterday and today and sent an email to both the principal and the director saying I was embarrassed and what the principal did was unprofessional. I’m now scared that she’s gonna confront me about the email tomorrow morning and if she does I’m walking out and will threaten to quit if I’m not moved back to my old school. Am I doing the right thing or am I being overdramatic? Any advice will help
