Today was an extremely bad day, which was odd considering it was the last day fo school with students (contract days tomorrow and Sunday though). I'm still crying.

I found out that a teacher I thought was my friend really hates me, hates my students and especially hates having a classroom next to my room and wants me gone. Even better, she is in a position she might be able to make this happen, since her best friend is marrried to the assistant superintendent.

After having her yell at me for 20 minutes in front of both our classes, I held it together until students left and then I lost it. I'm still crying.

I just don't want to teach anymore. I love my students but there is no way I can ever get along with some of these other teachers. I'm tired of them hating me just because I work with those "damn wetbacks" and I'm tired of knowing I have to pretend they aren't prejudiced and send my kids into their classrooms to be ignored and failed. I sick of this...

What do I have to do to stay home forever? I'd even move in with my in-laws at this point. Anything.

Yesterday I was content...Today, I want a job where I never have to work with another adult.

That's too bad. Some people are just horrible no matter what. Is there some other job you can do that you'd like better ? And how hard would it be to change jobs? Good luck. *hugs hard*

I'm so sorry to hear that. That's just inexcusable behaviour on the part of that other teacher, and for her to be using those kinds of slurs is just disgusting. I just feel really badly that you're going though this. I wish I could help. *hugs*

Found your own school?

That sounds like awfully unprofessional behavior to me. Seems like the sort of thing that I don't know, the principle or someone ought to object to. You know, in a perfect world.

I think I tend to like kids better than adults.

**HUGS TIGHT** I'm sorry sweety. You're doing well by caring for those kids when nobody else will. I am very proud of you. No matter how that woman or any of the others feel about you, I am proud of you. And you should be proud of yourself for caring when nobody else will. **hugs again**

Don't let the bastards grind you down. Just keep on being a better person than them...

I am so sorry. I am just so very sorry. I want to hug you right now and tell you that doing the right and good thing as you are doing is never wrong and that I have so much anger toward people who make you feel as if you can no longer do it. Prejudice is wrong, it's so wrong. Oh, honey, I am so sorry.

Those are not the kind of people who should be teaching children. I cringe at the kind of things the children are learning from adults like that. *hugs*
