Not a party to the feud (lol)- I know A, don't know B as don;t work there anymore, and kind of think both are unreasonable, as it's quite a petty thing, but also kind of get both, if that makes sense.
So the situation goes...
Teacher A has been leading a certain project with a group of students for a couple of years now. This year teacher B got assigned 'helping out' with the project in their two underallocations, so not on top of their other duties or in their free time. Teacher B is aa newly qualified teacher, but that may not be relevant. For the context, Teacher B didn't really have anything to prepare at all, except for turning up and maybe helping with behaviour, although even with that there was not a huge amount of work to do, as the kids were not particularly challenging, so it was mostly circling around the room and checking if they were doing the work. Anyway, it's the end of the year and teacher A thought it would be nice to get teacher B a card 'from students' and some chocolates. And...
I can't believe how childish it it even typing it! Teacher A got, (although if I was B I would not expect to get anything really, so thought it was a nice gesture myself) some chocolates which were a lookalike of a known brand that , but sold in Aldi- so similar looking box and probably exact same taste, but made one of their own brands.
Teacher B felt upset that she got knock-off chocolates and somehoww felt unappreciated, she did not say that to A but someone else, but rumours around staffroom travel fast, those who work in school may know.
A overheard or was passed on the gossip, felt a bit pissed off B is complaining about free chocolate A spent money on, and seeing how B is leaving for a new job, which she may not have done if B was staying, told B she was ungrateful for complaining and that her was a bit useless during the time she was around anyways (she did not word it in this was, but it was heavily implied). I think up until that point I was with A, don't think it was necessary to tell B off really, she thinks B deserves a mini lesson on staffroom etiquette.
Anyhow, wonder what other people think?
