I am in my second year as a LMS for two schools with about 900 students. No
one has lasted more than two years (a couple just one) in this position in the
past 8 years. They have all gone on to another job.
I have one part time and one full-time aide and we have not gotten along
well. One is older and has been around forever and she was sharing personal
stuff about me to a school board member's wife and got in trouble for it. The
other one quit yesterday because she has been having panic attacks and work has
been so stressful for her. This one is good friends with the principal.
Neither one of them like the way I do things, I guess. I am a bit hyper and maybe
somewhat disorganized when I get too busy. And--I am very flexible and will do
whatever I need to do to help students and teachers. In general, the teachers
like me.
It is so hard to be in two schools. I never feel like I am doing a good job.
I also wonder how the board will respond to a case like this where one gets
in trouble because of me and one quits. I am an outsider and I don't live in
the town where the school is.
I am really discouraged and hardly know how to respond to the one that just
quit.
Thanks for listening.
