I'm a assistant at a primary school, I've worked there almost 5 months.
I have had lots of problems with year 6 boys. I seem to be the only member of staff trying to implement rules therefore I am seen as the bad one. Pupils hate me and colleagues laugh because they know we have no control. But hey I'm not there to make friends just to keep everyone safe. The head etc do assemblies but it doesn't register and the staff don't work together.
I regularly get sly and sarcastic comments from these boys, they are basically taking the piss! They have started singing the 'I'm a barbie girl' song when I 'tell them off'. I am always polite and respectful. One of the boys made a complaint about me which was a complete lie. I was accused of calling a special needs child 'a stupid little idiot ' just 2 days after I reported them for treating him as their puppet! Unfortunately I felt accused by the head who had to take it seriously. I've heard nothing since. But feel disappointed that she thought I might actually of said that. Im still not convinced she believes me. I'm also being alienated by another staff member (for no reason) who I think (but can't prove) put the yr6 boy up to making this up. She also tried to paint me badly. She has a child in yr6 which might be why she's protective etc. I can't help feel she has encouraged these yr6's to behave like this. I haven't mentioned anything to anyone because I now have very little faith in the head.
Today the boys crossed a line and bullied my 7yr old! I feel sick. It was made clear to him that it was because of me. I spoke to his teacher and explained that what had happened was because of my recent run ins with yr6. She made the right sounds but I doubt anything will come of it.
The school seriously lacks discipline which is why the pupils show no respect. The pupils play staff off each other and run rings round them. I'm ashamed to feel bullied by these 11yr olds and now my son is because of me. I should do what other staff do stand there, say nothing and go home. Easy life.
How would you expect the school to react to my situation and my 7yr olds situation?
And
What would you do?
