Are any of you 2nd teachers in Music and get dumped on......a lot?

Most of you are aware that I teach in 3 schools on the traditional and
year round schedule. I get along with everyone except one other music
teacher (my worst school) and the strings teacher (at the same
school).

I share a room with the strings teacher and she never picks up after
her classes, doesn't share and steals (takes) my things. I can hardly
wait to get to school to see what else has been damaged or stolen!

Anyway, the other music teacher combines her classes so she gets extra
planning. I don't do it because I don't feel like it is fair to me or
that the kids are getting a good music education. Today, 5 minutes
before class I was asked to take her 2 classes with mine while she
conducted K graduation rehearsal!!!! That is 3 classes of inner city
kids who don't like to listen! I didn't want to but I took them.

I am not at the school Tuesdays or Fridays. Yay! She wants me to take
her 2 or 3 classes Wednesday @ 12:30. I told her I couldn't because
that was my ONLY planning for the week and I needed that time. It is
only 30 minutes. I could take them at 1:00 if she really needed me
to. She blew up and bullied me like usual etc. I won't be surprised
if I get called in but I'm tired of being bullied around. I have got
to get out of the school next year. I hope that the options that have
been told to me can make me leave!
