So where do I stand now? Whose umbrella should I take shelter under? English? Or art? Today that I am confused, is totally understated. I am very angry and confused.
Today, another sample of hasty and very unprofessional management was proven to me. Unfortunately, to me. I was just back into the staffroom, barely started on my marking and was just about to be asked something from my opposite neighbour when The fDog came in. She came straight to me, in such jittery and broken manner, told me that Ms Principal requested that I join along the Art&Crafts Club, since I am teaching Art. I stared at her, and sent her a big 'Huh?!' to her face. She repeated herself, distinctly I could feel her stressing when she said Ms Principal.
I knew I was stunted, pissed, angry, very angry and my face was showing. I just gave a simple, 'K', asked her where it was held, and then just ignored her. I continued chatting a little with the teacher, slowly arranged my books before deciding to go to the studio. Yes, I was actually debating whether to go or not to go. In the end, I went. I am but a teacher by choice.
It is not that I am reluctant to go, but I think that all these should be inform beforehand. As a manager, you manage, and manage well. What kind of management is this if I only have 1.5 rest periods, to do marking, while the rest is filled with classes and duties, regardless if I am the main teacher or not? Furthermore, you cannot justify that way, when there is another art teacher as well. Why is she in the club then?
I do not want to compare in such sense, so please do not give unreasonable reasons. If you need me to be there, just say so. I am not a kid, or a fresh player in the working industry. As much tact as you can have, if you are not professional in conduct or execution, you will still fail to my garner support and respect. In fact, it might just backfire on you and what you have gathered so far, will slowly be peeled away. I cannot, just cannot, be another fDog!
Tomorrow I am going to have another full day with just 2 periods free, which of course, there will be markings to do. In other words, there's no free period at all, not even free to plan and prepare my lessons! Am I suppose to be so boxed down with so much duties? Do you think that I can function better without sometime to plan out my lessons? A teacher has to plan and manage, too!
I am beginning to hate this school and that's bad.
