A student in the class I work in, hurt my feelings. How do I get I get over it?
The students in my class aren’t really fond of me. Some are but not all. All but one talks to me. So I lead morning meeting yesterday and she (let’s call her Ally) was the only one that didn’t look at me or engaged with me at all.
During music therapy some students went up to play the keyboard. Ally was too shy to go up when it was her turn. The music teacher asked her if she would like someone to go with her. She said sure. I volunteer and he asked Ally if she wanted to play on the keyboard with her and she flat out said no. I mean that’s fine.
She was like, “No. I don’t want YOU. I want Ms. (Let’s call her McLeon) to come up with me. So they played together. That hurt my feelings I’m not going to lie but I kept it together. She prefers the other two teachers both older than me. I’m only 20. She’ll do it with them but not with me. She’s 10. I know I’m still new to them and they miss their other support staff. In the afternoon Ally said she misses her and she’s a lot better than me. She’s fun and not quiet, grumpy and boring. Wow….. I’m so not grumpy. I told her I am not grumpy but she ignored me. When I said by to her, she wouldn’t even look at me. She says hi and bye to the other teachers and give them huge, but ignores me. Gives me the cold shoulder. I’ve been nothing but kind and nice to her.
One of the co-workers told me to stop trying so hard. Ally doesn’t have to like me and students are allowed to favor a teacher over the other. Let her come to me, but she does need to respect me. Not every student will like me just like I won’t like every student. I work wit SPED students in a 4-6 classroom only 10 students.
