It turned out to be a very good thing that she decided to listen to her own body because only a few hours after she left her school, she had the baby.
“My doctor was like lay down and rest,” she said, “I woke up from a small nap, water broke. I thought I was gonna have the baby in the car!”
When she got to the hospital, she had an extremely quick delivery.
“Like 2 hours later, my kid is born,” she said.
Not only did she have to deal with her principal before she went into labor, but she had to deal with her principal’s same antics afterward as well.
“That same principal emailed me,” she said. “Asking me where my lesson plans were. I had just given birth!”
She also had to return to work much sooner than she wanted to and once again received no sympathy from her principal.
“Because I didn’t qualify for FMLA, I came back 21 days postpartum,” she said. “My principal was like, ‘oh but, you know, this is your second baby, so like, you know how it goes.'”
These kinds of things can go on behind the scenes without anyone ever knowing, so just be kind to your child’s school teachers.
@itsmaggieperkins Replying to @vvvalerievvvalerie truly though, education is a never ending parade of being told that someone who had it worse than you managed to figure it out, so you will too. It’s gaslighting, it’s toxic positivity, it’s a scarcity mindset and it’s just abusive. Also, no, I did not have a union in the state where this happened. #teachersoftiktok #teacherquittok #formerteacher
