I QUIT TEACHING PRIVATE SCHOOL | My Nightmare Year of Teaching! Storytime!

This has been my EXACT experience in teaching. I taught in the public schools for 14 years. It was horrible. I developed rheumatoid arthritis, and a neurological disorder called trigeminal neuralgia as well. I left my position as a fifth grade teacher in the public schools because of a horrible administrator and took a 30k payout to teach middle school language arts in a private Christian school. I am a Christian and was excited to teach in a place where I didn’t have to violate my conscience on a regular basis. From the gate I had the most unbelievable pushback from students who refused to cooperate on any level. It was a daily grind with the viciousness I received. I think these kids like the easy street teachers and will (almost violently) rebel against any teacher with standards and expectations. And I too am really fun and positive. The dealbreaker for me to leave was when a student stole my keys and the administrator did absolutely nothing. I had to pay a locksmith 300 bucks to drive out and make me a key so I could drive home. That was a true case of the inmates running the asylum. I ran, not walked away from that place. Now I make more money as a sales rep. I don’t have panic Attacks anymore and I have 99.9% less stress. Those kids are abusers and they get off on the predatory ways they are allowed to get away with.

Those school bullying shootings sound different... ehhh? A physical reflection of the internal effects of this type of bullying.

When I talked about a teacher with my friend to her face I got in trouble big time. This was in Elementary. My dad had taken all the toys out of my room and put it into the hallway, my aunt made me recite and write paragraphs while sitting in front of my toys of how I would not do it again, and then had me write the complete multiplication table over and over again and recite it to her starting from 1x1= 1 to 12x12 and if I messed up I’d have to go back upstairs IN FRONT OF ALL MY TOYS to restart again.

This kids make horrible rumors about a teacher? Kids will be kids, hehe!

What?! Not the "christians"!!!!

Name amd shame the school.

Hmmm. The love of money is the root of all evil.

I took my 4th grader and 1st grader out of school to homeschool this year. I’m not a trained teacher and so I second guessed myself at the beginning. However as we are ending this first semester I never want to send them back and these stories encourage me to do whatever possible to continue homeschooling.

So many “Christians” in America

Just thought of something, I woukd have given them all bible scriptures each time they wrote a bad letter, lol. In each meeting with the parents i wiuld have read what the Bible say about racism, and disobedience , and parent guidance. Lol, I would have wore PROVERBS out. Ha ha!!

The administration made it clear to you that they WOULD NOT be on your side. They informed you to befriend the bad kids parents and told you to look over the comments. So why did you allow them to get to you. Just teach those that wanted it. You should have taped your class sessions, and the meetings. Copied the improvement plan then sewed the board, bottom line. Most interational couples think they will be treated right, intil the wake up call. Sorry.

The only thing you get teaching at a charter school or a private school is the deeper denial of parental failure.

This behavior is called reviling, and the Bible says to have nothing to do with them, and not even eat with them, if they say they are Christians and act this way. Kids that act this way should be publicly shamed. This is one offense that requires very public punishment.

It really depends on the Christian school and its leadership. However, teaching in the inner city is a poor preparation for teaching in private school and dealing with entitled students like this. Some Christian schools are a dumping ground for well-off badly behaved teenagers. Probably a Christian school in a mixed area with less affluent people would be better. Some white people are extremely clannish and rude to outsiders of any race. They put any new people through a nightmare initiation. It's like hazing. I've experienced this kind of behavior from white people, and I'm white. I'm really ashamed when people of English/Scottish/Irish ancestry like myself reinvent the snobbishness of 19th century Britain to our country. Just find another private school with a better church where more of the parents are true Christians. Lots of white people are prickly and nasty, but Christians should rise above their nasty tendencies. It sounds like the elders of the church need to fire some school personnel and expel certain students! This is evil.

You were a teacher and black. A double whammy. they saw you as a second class citizen.

God this is horrible:(

Thanks for the long videos!

OMG… it seems like a nightmare! You are too strong… you were there for one full year?

Jesus!
Thank God you left them!

Girl! That's abuse! Sounds like a narcissistic relationship. Started with lies and false promises. Being taken as a joke. Addressing problems and being told it's your fault. Being attacked and then being advised to be more open! This is sick!
I wish you would expose the name of the school. Such a place needs to be exposed

I find it fascinating that if a neighborhood is too white , there’s no diversity , but if a neighborhood is all black it’s called the black community .

Your experience parallels mine closely. I was hired as an English teacher at a private Christian school in Florida, though I'd also been offered a managerial job at a tropical plants operation. Unfortunately, I allowed the private school's principal to pressure me into joining her faculty--big mistake. From Day One it was a nightmare. There was total mayhem behaviorally from these spoiled brats. And whenever I tried to correct them their parents, who were wealthy, complained to the principal. I hated even going to work every day. I still well recall the frustration and anger that I developed from those ,nine months in Hell.

Wow!! Im so sorry you had to endure that. You sound like a lovely person.

This is pure RACISM! And to think these rich entitled children are/will be adults….

This is terrible. 😢 What is happening to schools? It's bad everywhere from Preschool to High School. 😧 I really need a new field, but after 25 years.... what? 😢 I'm dealing with ridiculous things a little similar to this now in a preschool. I'm ready to leave and never look back.

I’m trying to quote a teacher featured on 60 Minutes Australia. A teacher’s working conditions are our students’ learning conditions.

I can 100% believe this. I know what these sort of towns are like. I'm so sorry that you were treated so poorly. Screw that school.

I know the milieu. Yellowstone in the exurbs.

And Testimony is a setup. You really walked into it. Catholics know the gory details of your life are safe only with a priest, and I respect that.

Theres no hate like Christian love .

They need to read “the crucible”

Thank you for sharing. Maybe you don’t realize that using the term “women of color” is anti-blackness. I am an African American woman and I will not use a term to support other ethnic groups. If possible, please stop using that awful term.
Did you document the events that occurred and file a discrimination lawsuit? Otherwise, how are you helping the next African American women in the same situation?

I wouldn't have lasted a week at that school. When I was young along time ago I went to acatholicschool with nuns.even if the nuns left parentsbelieved them
The ruler story is true but 99 % respected their teachers

This is so shocking and heartbreaking. I absolutely hate it when admin and parents just seem to reward the students’ evil behaviors by overlooking all of them and standing on their side. Horrible hypocrites.

Yes, they do it for sport. I was told 💯 by admin, as a child, what are you doing to cause this?

As a child who was transferred into a private Christian school in 4th and 5th grade (early 90s) it was the most psychologically torturous part of my life. The teachers were not credentialed, most on some alcohol or drug, and feared the students. The students were horrifying and there was no protection whatsoever. I was told by adults that I was making it up.

Is there such a thing as a private homeschool teacher????

She seems like a great teacher, what a shame

Gosh, that is so awful. I know I have things at my school but I never went through something like that. You must have gotten that sick eerie feeling every day you went to work. I get that too but its for different reasons. I just have a bunch of rude disrespectful kids that will talk back to you, and you call the parent and the parent will blame you for their kid's misbehavior. Like, they will say, "Well, what were YOU doing to trigger him to act like this?" What were YOU doing. YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU. It's NEVER the child having to take responisibity for their own poor choices. It is always someone else's fault. This is what makes me feel so sick on the inside. Also, last week a fight broke out in my room between a couple of kids, and I called the office for help, and NO ONE CAME. I had to get another teacher with a walkie to call the school security guard for help. And we wonder why there is a teacher shortage

You didn’t get that written response from admin because they knew it was a lawsuit offense. They knew they were guilty of ignoring harassment.

The longer I watch this video the more upset I am for you! You did everything right. This school should be sued at this point for inaction. They perpetuate the cycle by allowing this nastiness to continue. I wish I could have been a teacher at your school to defend you. Makes me so mad.

In a country where “racist” is thrown around way too often.. it takes away credibility from when actual racism occurs. In your case, I completely agree with you that this was racism. This sounds like such a nightmare. I am so sorry that these children and parents were so cruel to you and that your administration did not support you. As a fellow teacher for special needs (pk-12), I get the most violent students. I am now working in a private school and see the inner workings of these wealthy families. How their children who do no work get A’s because they donate towards the school. I wish I could spread your story to the world. Shame on them!

That’s a den of vipers! I’m so sorry for all of this and I am so GRATEFUL FOR YOU AND YOUR CHANNEL!!!! May God bless you and keep you all the days of your life! ❤

I have quit jobs after a week… this is one I would have left immediately. That’s horrible, you endured a ton.

Staff member kids are a teacher & adminstor’s worst enemy lol I am TFA as well 1st year, teaching in a small low income charter in a subject not trained or studied in. Thank you for all your videos , candidness , and information, your vids truly do give me teacher therapy !!! More than any “wellness plan” lolol I am so sorry you had to go thru this horrible exp your 3rd year, u sharing your story really does help me prepare for any private religious school (which I almost worked for Jewish orthodox ) I’m sure the “mafia” parent & admin mentality exist across the board for many of these places! It helps prepare me for what type of chess game I may face in the future ! I don’t plan to leave till my 3rd year to give teaching a fair shot, but let me tell you I’ve thought about it often here in Las Vegas !

Put your phones away. Put your phones away. Stop talking. Put your phones away. Put your phone away. No, you can’t go to the bathroom you just went 10 minutes ago. Put your phones away -

My every day 😢

Your intro 😂😂😂😂

I'm so sorry to hear this. And it sounds almost exactly like my story - I was an outsider hated and lied about from Day One - except yours was in a so-called Christian school, which makes it all the worse.

This was 100% racism. No ifs ands or buts. This was real racism too I could just feel it seeping through my screen as I watched you tell your story. Nowadays there's a lot of people making up racism stories (Jussie Smullet), seeing racism where there is none, etc, but your story is 100% racism. I am deeply sorry you had to go through this. Of all places a school calling itself "christian". They probably need to change their name to the Satanist Academy because all of their shitty brats were acting like little racist devils along with the parents.

I 💯% believe you. My experience was similar. I put on my walking boots and walked straight out of there😵‍💫 I hope the school who did this is embarrassed and ashamed for treating you like crap.

Those parents, students, and admin. didn't deserve you.
Think of what those kids will be like as adults!
I don't love playing the race card, but I really think race was the main reason they treated you like this.
