To people who’ve worked in education…
 

(And this applies to me, because I’ve worked in education, too, and I imagine the likes of Ammi will have some really great musings for contribution in this thread.)

… what would you say the most challenging things about working in education have been/are, and how did/do you overcome those hurdles?

From my partners point of view working in a college dealing with young adults with varying degrees of physical/ mental and behavioural conditions also kids coming from broken or damaged homes
Some young adults can become violent
Some parents think college is free child care
Jealousy from people who are working under you and basically want your job so cause trouble and make allegations
People that don’t want to do their jobs
Back stabbing and gossip
No money left in the system so my partner spending her money so the kids don’t go with out

The most bizarre thing was my partner is over qualified and was offered a role that involved more responsibilities but little extra money so she didn’t accept the role someone who was basically working in the shop took the job despite not having the correct qualifications and even asked my partner for her work to basically cheat
Well this year the young adults actually got to choose a teacher to receive an award .my partner won the award And this woman has the cheek to say to my partner remember I’m your boss

The mother****ing parents

…:laugh: …I love you so much/that’s so true…


…what’s that saying…I have 99 problems/life challenges but children ain’t one of them…they’re joyful people to work with…:love:…
