Guest Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Hi everyone and hope you all have a good productive Autumn 1. i am in a difficult predicament in that my job sharer (deputy head) is ignoring me most of the time due to an issue we had about children copy writing sentences when they don't even understand what they have written. This happened last April . I love my school and my job and have been to the head (not interested) and may now have to go to the union. I feel so angry and frustrated as it seem that she rules the school. I feel if I leave she has won. Have tried talking to her and went into a vitriol. Has anybody else sufferend this kind of behaviour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Hi and welcome. I would talk to my union, if I were you. They will offer advice and intervene if they and you feel that is appropriate but they will not take any action without your permission.

catma Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 She sounds very unpleasant! But maybe she is feeling challenged with your more up to date knowledge?? When you say job share is she perceived as the major stakeholder in the class - ie you cover her class while she is on management time? That can make it very hard too. I would talk to union though as this is bullying behaviour and shouldn't be acceptable and she should have greater integrity and professional/emotional intelligence to just GET OVER IT!!!!!

Guest Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Hi and thank you all for yr advice. I feel that I'm really being listened to. I am the major stakeholder if you like as I do the 3 days. I've done many jobshares, and am so laid back i'm practically horizontal. However because I feel so riled I have uncharacteristically had to become really assertive with her and make my voice heard. ( which for me is a good thing). However as you say it is so unprofessional and I have warned my head any more and that I will be calling in the union. Other people have had to leave because of her. I'm there because I love children and teaching not to compete. Its sad when it gets like this. People have said ignore her and do the job best you can, but she still bugs me.
