Signed off yet work are contacting me

[ThePerkyCoralPoet]

I’m signed off. Work are emailing me about things that I said I would hand over before the end of my employment. Meaning in my time. Manager has emailed and text me. I’m actually seeing it as borderline harassing me now.

I would pont out that it was YOU who started throwing insults and making disparaging comments and comparisons. Anyway, I doubt you will ever be teaching again, and that is probably for the best. Based purely on your multiple threads on here, you simply don't seem suited to any role that involves taking responsibility.

Oh come on.
Yeah you signed up to teach, but you did so in the full knowledge that youd be teaching in a school, where are there are children, who are unpredictable, and sometimes throw things at one another, or worse.

If you werent aware of the potential for kids to chuck things when signing up to be a teacher than you're not really in the position to call on common sense to prevail amongst your detractors.

Okay so this was one incident of many. That was okay it’s the rest of it.

Teachers are leaving in droves because what the OP is going through is commonplace. The OP is not at all unusual in taking time off sick with stress.

Teachers don't get flak jackets, helmets, or a rifle to shoot back with. They don't get the training that military people get. They are taught how to teach, not how to defend themselves against thrown books/chairs/etc. If they try to defend themselves and even touch a child in the process, they risk suspension and investigation. They have to manage their own lesson planning, they aren't given orders by someone else.

Comparing teaching to military service is like comparing apples with bricks, never mind oranges.

And, to be really truthful, I think the armed forces need to take mental health a lot more seriously than they do. The suicide rate amongst current and former service personnel is shocking, the mental health sequelae of active service manifest in the disproportionate number of homeless veterans, and then you have cases like Deepcut...

Literally this. Exactly this.
