I worked with an absolute shrew of a woman. She used to talk about me with her students as if she was 12, as well. She let her personal feelings about me affect her teaching. I, on the other hand, showed up every day, taught to the best of my ability, ignored what the kids were telling me that she was saying about me, and went home at the end of the day. One of the nicest things anyone ever said to me was in a teachers' lounge (the place where a conversation about anything quickly devolves into complaining about everything). She said, "You know, I noticed you never talk about anyone." I said, "That's true. Thank you for noticing."Scott Manasnoreply@blogger.com
