This Sucks

So they say that one bad apple ruins the bunch, well that is true my dear reader. I got fired this week, I get to finish out the school year, but I got fired.
Let me start from the beginning. Two years ago I graduated with a Master's Degree in Education. From my previous posts you know how difficult, yet rewarding this was. So I took a job, the first job that came my way. The job sucked, see my previous posts from 2009, but I got my foot in the door. When I ended that school year my cool supervisor told me she knew I did not fit in where I worked but that she talked to so and so and that she found me a place where I fit, right in my back yard.
Last year I started the school year off on maternity leave, but none the less when I came back I was the BEST teacher that I could be. In fact I think I knocked their socks off, because some co-workers told me I did.
At the end of last year my teaching assistant did something that pissed me off, she corrected me in front of my students for the fourth time. I was pissed, but I just ignored her for a while and thought she got the hint. See, she is way older than I am, she is old enough to be my mother. So there is this "respect your elders" sort of thing going on. I did not really tell her I was pissed, I just was really cool towards her, I still bragged about how great she was but I was upset. See you never undermine a supervisor, no matter if they are wrong or not.
So as the school year came to a close and we consolidated with the neighboring school district, we got our new assignments. I would be looping with some of the students that I had taught the year before and I would be teaching with Mrs. Tattle Tale down the hall. We would be splitting up the seventh grade case load.
As the summer ended I moved into my new classroom and told Mrs. Tattle Tale that she could have the teaching assistant the majority of the time and that we could share her during study hall.
The school year started and I thought things were rolling along just fine. I had a great group of kids and I felt that they were meeting all the challenges of the seventh grade. In late September I was called into my bosses office (not the principal) and was told that I should not be giving homework to special educational students. They had enough pressures and that homework was unnecessary. Albeit that my homework was a way for them to review for their spelling and vocabulary tests, but none the less I stopped just as I was directed to. After school one day I sort of bitched about it to a group of teachers, Mrs. Tattle Tale being one of the teachers, and I said what am I supposed to do "wipe their asses too?" Mrs. Tattle Tale got right in my face with her finger and in her crying whiny voice said "I take offense to that because I have special education children of my own." Her own flesh and blood are special education students, but they are in 5th grade, not seventh. She must have then gone to my supervisor to tattle on me, because in a moment fine readers you will understand my motive for posting such a long winded story.
Fast forward to January, after many snow days it was time for my yearly evaluation. My Supervisor (I have a few choice names, but now is not the time), came in to evaluate me and in my post evaluation conference she told me that my face is very expressive and she can tell when I do not like a student. She also told me that I need to work on my voice, that I talk really fast (as do most people who are nervous). It was also expressed in my evaluation that I did not get along well with co-workers. Ok, that being said I brought my evaluation home and let the Anti-Hippie go over it. He said that everything that was 'wrong' with my evaluation was contradicted in the next part. I was not worried. I would work on my voice and letting my face show how I was feeling.
In late January I was evaluated by my principal, he told me I am a great teacher, and that experience would make me better. All in all a wonderful evaluation. I am only a second year teacher, I know that I am not proficient in any area.
In early February I was again evaluated by my Supervisor. Last week after an IEP meeting I was asked by said Supervisor to stay after so that she could go over my evaluation. I agreed because I obviously did not know what was coming.
As we are going over the evaluation, she again comes to the part about me not getting along with co-workers, I then said do not beat around the bush, is this about my co-worker Mrs. Tattle Tale? She told me it was, I then explained that Mrs. Tattle Tale set me up a few times this year and she is not sharing our teaching assistant. A note was made in the evaluation and as she got to the last line she said "and it is with this evaluation that I am recommending to the board that you not be hire next year."
WTF? I am the THIRD person that Mrs. Tattle Tale has gotten fired, I am a DAMN good teacher, and REALLY.?

That my dear reader is why this SUCKS.
On a side note, some parents have found out about this and they are pissed, my principal is PISSED, and everyone of my co-workers besides Mrs. Tattle Tale and teacher assistant ARE PISSED. Look out because KARMA is a bitch!
