I work in education with Pre-K. Typically I am support staff which means I cover lunches and provide support… lately I have been put in a class all day where the child bites, kicks, screams and another child as well. I wouldn’t mind it as I love to help/ do my job. However they have begun leaving in there for the whole day. It is to a point where I am exhausted, the kids are a huge liability and I spoke to admin…
“It was (insert principals name’s ) decision but I will speak to her and see if some days we alternate you.”
The next day and weeks I was given a schedule with only my lunch as the period where I was not in the class. The other person who also holds my position gets to cover all lunches and floats through, teachers complain he/she does not help at all…but they get the easier schedule because he is the child of another worker there.
My mental has suffered in addition to my body and I am completely over it and disappointed that after all of the work I have done this has been my reward. Oh they also messed up my paycheck the end! 🙂
