Moved to a new school and subject with no notice

“My district transferred me to another school and subject just before the start of the school year. It was horrible. I had no notice and no choice about where I went.”source ↗

“I have too many preps, almost no planning time at all, and a bunch of coteachers with whom I don't share any planning time (partly because I hardly have any). I have no classroom of my own, no supplies”source ↗

“I went from feeling like a confident veteran teacher to feeling like total crap. Now I just feel old, honestly. Old and stupid.”source ↗

“Despite getting fours and fives out of 5 and being told my only area of improvement was classroom management they are moving me.”source ↗

“Yesterday a child dug their nails into me so hard I was bleeding, and another kicked me, that's an idea of what I'm dealing with.”source ↗

“To top it off I was told Id hear back yesterday about what school I'm at today and my boss never even called.”source ↗

“Does the Stay Put Law apply in this case?”source ↗

“It happens, it’s fine, but what irks me is when administration tells you “theres kids everywhere” in response to me or my previous coworkers saying that they’ll miss their kids, or that it’s going to be tough to say goodbye.”source ↗

“I don’t think they get it. Because to me, and I’m sure a lot of you all believe, that a strong bond is made. You make memories, good or bad, and that relationship is/can be severed on a whim. It sucks.”source ↗

“6 periods for 45 minutes each = there is no resting time. the kids come in, you teach right away, they leave. Reset and repeat x6.”source ↗

“I feel like I have no idea what I’m doing. From learning phonics curriculum to ela to math to a new social studies and science curriculum to a new writing curriculum. It actually feels impossible.”source ↗

“On top of feeling overwhelmed with the work load, the school I’m now at is the lowest scoring school in the district, like really low.”source ↗

“And on top of THAT, I’m 9 weeks pregnant. I just need to survive until spring break, but how?”source ↗

“I’m feeling stress all evening because I still don’t know how to teach 4th grade math..... literally.”source ↗

“It was so overwhelming that first year.”source ↗

“How often have you switched schools, grades, or subjects?”source ↗

“at my last school, I was one of the only teachers who swapped grades so often.”source ↗

“Now that i’m at this new school, which is mostly middle class kids, I feel completely lost. Every time I plan something that I feel like should work, I constantly walk away feeling like it just did not land at all.”source ↗

“Giving feedback has always been so important to me and now I feel like I can’t because there’s just not enough time.”source ↗

“I keep telling myself it’ll be better next year when I’m used to it but there’s just so much time between now and then”source ↗

“is there is no provision for clear and present danger? Like if the kid with the IEP is threatening to beat up the other kid again?”source ↗

“I was transferred because of overstaffing just in the middle of September (right after Labor Day) I felt like I was doing pretty good, I was a mid year hire that started on in mid January.”source ↗

“I am a lost of what to do I might not even typed this out well because I was panicking.”source ↗

“how the f*ck do I flip this around?? What should I do? I feel like sh*t for leaving these grades so awful when we’re going on break after tomorrow…”source ↗

“I’m just unsure how to handle it and improve it because again deeply scared about job security as I feel so vulnerable in life and this is overall taking blows to my mind and don’t know what admin is thinking.”source ↗

“Since I am on my final semester of Associate degree/diploma of Accounting, should I switch to HR?”source ↗

“Also, Accounting gives me anxiety and my parents persuade me to be in that field.”source ↗
