So I signed up to work summer camp in April and I was very excited about it. We started two weeks ago and it was exhausting. I was working with the kindergarten kids. The staff has been talking to me frankly how I’m doing a poor job at taking charge of a classroom, letting students do what they wanted and giving in. The assistant (let’s call her Mrs Elle) that’s leading the classroom told be bluntly that a lot of teachers have been noticing that and they have been talking about it in the teacher meeting how I lack assertiveness and just having to be asked to get up and talk to the students. Mrs Elle said the principal was lucky to give me another chance for summer camp since I have already sign up for it and she would have fired me if she was her. She said if I can’t take charge of a classroom and be firm, they’re not going to want me to come back to work here and revolt my contract because they don’t want a teacher that can’t even do their job. The principal noticed it too and that keeps happening again, she would have to come talk to me.
So today was a horrible day and Mrs Elle was so upset with me for not controlling the students and one parent got angry then said her child came home with a poppy diaper and rash because one of us didn’t change him. Mrs Elle scold me off for not doing my job and I need to stop “trying” and just do it even if they don’t want to do so and that’s why kids don’t respect me because I’m too nice and soft to them. The principal bluntly told me that I don’t have what it takes to be a teacher, a parents had to call because he had a rash and that makes the school look bad. I don’t wanna to my job to be assertive and the biggest mistake was hiring me. She said she has to let me go. Today was my last day at my job. Great now I’m unemployed again. Can’t believe they just let me go. I need money and I’m already in college.
Was I right to be pissed off at my boss for letting me go today?
