Unprofessional

Posted by Former Director on 12/4/2024, 12:31 pm

So recently I went to work with a program nearby and a former student from my current job let me know that the students and director from my last job have talked openly about how much they disliked me last year now that I am gone. Somewhat upsets me, but honestly I could care less since I left the profession anyway

…just venting…

you remember the story of the three envelopes? the first envelope, "blame the guy before you". Stand tall and know that this "dirt kicking" is because he knows he's failing to accomplish tasks. Take it as a compliment.

Well, on a positive note, congratulations on transitioning out of the field. How to do that successfully is a frequent question on this board.

If you want a sober reflection of how much this job drains us, look at how many former TMEA state office holders/division VPs have left teaching before "retirement age."

It's not a few.

When I came to my school the students and staff were the same with how they talked about the previous director, and I know it'll be the same with me when I go.

I think part of it is just teenagers wanting to gossip about anything and in general just being mean. I'm disappointed in the director for allowing that kind of talk to continue. Considering what I said earlier, though, I shouldn't be surprised that adults act this way.

Sorry you went through that.
