Sorry it took so long to reply. Been busy with newborn and hubby decided take this computer and play games on it for days. Anyhoo, sweetie, the alarm bells are a ringing here. I'm really concerned about this job.
1. Supervisor sounds like a butthead
2. Sounds like it's completely understaffed - which can lead to serious problems/accidents. You don't want to be held accountable for something that it not within the realm of human expectations.
3. I don't know what it's like in the states, but here in ONtario, teachers MUST be allowed their allotted plan time or the board can get in serious trouble. Check into your rights - are you unionized or what?
4. It sounds way too stressful for anyone to be able to manage. I can't handle my one month old alone and you two are looking after 7 babies?
5. I start using lists numbered when I get upset about something.
6. You were right about the 6 month old - the parents should have tried to leave her before dumping her off - how thoughtless and irresponsible. I mean what did they THINK would happen??? Duh!?
7. Your first year of teaching should be tough, but what you're going through is nothing short of ludicrous and unacceptable. You should not be able to manage and thrive and be happy in an enviroument like that.
Type back - I'm really worried about you.
Finally - a word of advice - document EVERYTHING - your prep time down to when supervisor comes in, to supervisor's COMMENTS - WRITE THEM DOWN. If there is ever a problem - you'll need written backup. Also, I would also consider writing your concerns down IN WRITING and submit them to your supervisor - (keep a copy) - that way it will CYA - cover your as$.
