Jolly Job with Cantankerous Co-workers--Snoop a Stranger's Business--Psychic Advice

I am an elementary school art teacher and I work with especially difficult colleagues. Will the situation improve for me? Frustrated Fran

Hello Frustrated Fran,

These colleagues will not change for the better. The ring leader seems to have a lot of power at that school, maybe a tie-in with the principal or a board member. The situation is rampant and out of control.

You are a tolerant woman. This choice is yours alone. If you can hold out for 3-5 years, the situation will improve, but why wait?

I suggest searching for a new school. Think about teaching older students. You might find them more enjoyable than you envision. Jan Helen
