Panicking because I’m worried my job is on the line. I mean, it always is since I don’t have a union and am an at will employee, but I’m worried I’m gonna end up on a “list” for abusive adults. During “free play” in a TK class I was covering, one kid hit another kid. I didn’t see what happened because I was helping another kid with a math activity. But then the principal asked me to tell him what happened. When I tell him I didn’t see what happened, does that make me negligent, which is a crime?

I think it’s fair that you didn’t see what was happening. In my class of 18 (I’m lucky to have small classes) I can assure you I can’t possibly have eyes on every single student at once during indoor recess. Let him know you didn’t see it and why, and ask him to have conversations with other students who did see the incident happen! My principal always asks the teachers what happened, then the students in question, then anyone who might have witnessed it. You’re only human and kids can be little jerks sometimes! No stress it happens to the best of us! I had a student cut off some of another students hair once 🙃 I loathe indoor recess.

This has happened to me before. My principal, unjustly, blamed me for "silencing" the complaining student, who had water spilled on his pants ""on purpose." I told him I was progress monitoring for RTI and didn't see it, nor did I respond because a student was reading to me. That wasn't good enough for him. He told me I had to have eyes on my class at all times and call on a student immediately. What about when I'm showing information from our curriculum on the screen, or writing on the screen? My back is turned sometimes.

You can’t see everything-I remember feeling guilty when I first started his I would miss things. Negligence would be if you didn’t care about it, not necessarily that you didn’t see it. It largely depends and I think the principal is just asking for what happened not in a “you’re in trouble kind of way”

This is exactly why we need unions tbh, having union protection makes it easier to work without worry of being fired at a moment's notice.

If you and your colleagues want to start a union, your state education association will help you with that.

So this might be a better place to post this and ask this question: Uncle D has announced explicitly that most people won’t get a pay raise & bonus this year except for those promoted and high performers. Amid this crisis, are companies including other big 3, MBB, FAANG, boutique consulting firms still giving high raises and issue stocks? Can you share the impact from your firm?

Anyone have situational depression? Can’t stop beating myself up over a decision a year ago. Basically missed out on a massive amount of money. I know this seems trite and i never even cared thatt much about money before this year.

So many other good things happened to me this year - got married, got a puppy, moved etc, and yet the one thing i keep returning to is this decision as though i ruined my life. Ironically the only thing ruining my life is my outlook and yet i just can’t stop.
