Sad Story Of a Teacher Who Broke The Trust Of 20 Little Kids.

Good evening TON mansion, i trust you all are doing well. May we continue to see good.

I am so pained this evening, I feel like the worst person on earth. I broke the trust of over 20little kids.

So i was working with a school up until April this year, I left the school in first week of resumption this May for another school, my reason being the rude and disrespectful manner with which the owner of the school spoke to and treated her employees. 

She always had something to complain about and fuse about and then go ahead to insult the teacher in the presence of her staff and even the pupils. I am someone who cannot take harsh remarks of any kind( I guess we all are).

But I got fed up, because i started finding it hard to let her words get off my mind. Words like "I don't know why I employed you", you are not capable to do anything".

Parents were commending my work and even spoke good of me at all times, but I guess she probably just didn't like me. Coz she never acknowledged their recommendations. I'd catch her throwing hateful gazes at me. 

So before resumption this term, I had gone to apply in some schools hoping to get a job and leave her school,when I still hadn't gotten any response,I resumed school but not before having a talk with her, telling her i would leave if she ever belittled me again, she apologized and even went ahead to tell me she had a dream and in the dream the "Holy Spirit" had called her out and told her to stop being disrespectful to me, she insisted my name was called and in the dream holy spirit opened her eyes to see that i worked with all my heart. 

She apologized and I left her office with so much hope and relief, telling myself that if any of the schools I applied to should call, I'd tell them I'm not interested anymore, I have this wonderful bond with my pupils, everyday, after lesson, I tell them stories, I allow them hug me and peck my cheeks, write me letters too. I love them and they love me(i still hope they do)

But right after her apology to me,that evening, she went on the teacher's WhatsApp group and wrote a lengthy post bout how the third grade teacher was irresponsible that she would leave her class and go to other classes to gossip ànd eat, how she wont tolerate it anymore and so many things she said. To say i was shocked was an understatement, because I have never done any of those things before, I'm always in my class till the last of my kids has been handed over.I only get to talk with other teachers during assembly or while going home.

The next day, one of those schools I applied to called, I wasn't expecting that school to call because it is the biggest school in this part of IMO state and it's known to be really strict with selecting teachers, I was employed and asked to resume soon. I accepted their invite and sent a message to my former employer telling her my mind, I told her I couldn't continue with her school because at this point, I value my mental health over any other thing. Next day, parents were calling me endlessly wanting to know why I was not in school, I didn't give any reply at first but by the end of that week, i was getting reports that my kids were disorganized, they were pained and some were crying thinking I was sick, so I had to take the parents calls and let them know I had left the school. 

I heard some of them confronted the woman knowing how she behaves, she called me and tried convincing me to return but I refused. My kids still call me, run up to me for a hug when they see me on the street. Scream my name from the school bus in the mornings, the parents stop to have a chat with me when we meet on the road.

But here's my pain, I was cleaning out my bookstore pile and the big envelope where I kept their numerous letters fell out, I sat down to read them again, I felt the love they tried to pass to me through their letters, all their prayers for me to always laugh and have 1 billion zillion of money, and have a good husband and cute babies like them. How I am their second mommy and how much they would never forget me, it dawned on me that I left this kids unprepared to face another method of teaching from another teacher. I miss them so much and I have been crying my eyes out coz I feel I should have endured till I moved them to the next class.

I feel they hate me too.
