Blog Assignment Week 5
The disagreements that I recently experience is when me and a colleague at work. The disagreement was over when a floater suppose to be in a class room and not mines. The prior week the director made a schedule of the room for the floater to give teacher's release time in their classroom to do their lesson plans. Well another teacher that work at the center sent the teacher in my room and it was not her turn to be in my work. So when the floater came in my room I had show her the schedule and she was like "thank you" Ms. Shartarka for letting me know and replied "you welcome". So the teacher that sent the floater in my room came in my room and fuss at me for no reason. She did it in front of the parents and the other teachers. I kindly said to her this is the time or the place to talk about and I told her I will not have you to talk to me any kind of way. I said to her the floater suppose to be in your classroom not mines her is the schedule. The teacher said I do not want that floater in my classroom "I do not like her". She walk out and slam the door. I was so pissed that I had to just walk around the classroom and pray. So my director came in later on that morning she came to me like I had started the argument. I was really shock at my director because she has known me for fourteen years and I just don't start a argument just for anything. I try to be professional with my parents and children in the classroom. I told my director you need to get the whole story before you come to me with this situation. I was so mad my eyes water up. So when she got the whole story she pull me in the office and apologize. She ask me was I ok and I told her no I was not. In my mind I was still hurt. My director pull her in the office and had a talk with her and told her she was wrong. So the next day I did not say anything to her or speak so she told one of my friends that she felt bad of what she did and she wanted to talk to me. So she came to me and was like I just like to apologize for what I did and I do not know what came over me. I told her I will accept her apology. I think how I resolve this issues is not continue to argue with the other teacher and walk away from it.

I think that you did the right thing and a wonderful job. I have temper when people come at me wrong and I know you probably couldn't leave your classroom to walk and blow off steam. I think that by not arguing back and telling her where you stood on the issue you shouldn't do anything, but walk away and look stupid. I'm sure the parents respect you even more for how you handled the situation. The director should still feel bad for even thinking that you handle the situation wrong. I commend you on your skills in handling this situation so wonderfully.
ReplyDeleteShartarka,
ReplyDeleteI know how you felt! I agree with you that when something like this happens it is not good to be in front of parents or the kids. Some people just don't think and say and act poorly when they want. If I were in your situation I think I would meet with the teacher and the director. The director sets the atmosphere and she wants the floater out there, the floater is out there.
