Students enter my classroom each year w/ expectations rooted from stories told to them from students who earned their first B or C in my 8th grade class. Parents and students talk with exagerations & false info which creates issues that should not have existed. The "talking" gets infectious. I have given so much time to worry and extra work. I have a good number of students and parents who have commended me on the services and education I've provided them. However the few students and parents who keep the negative stuff in high momentum are wearing me down. I continue on knowing that I am doing what I know is good for my students. I have never "played the game" of politics with the PTSA and faculty. I believe that if I continue to do this, it will work out. However I'm beginning to think I need to find ways to play or I'll be dealing with this problem forever. I am a National Board Certified teacher, highly qualified, highly competent, very ambitious & loving what I do! HELP! Plez
