I quit because I attempted twice this week to clarify 2 pieces of information with my administrator because I felt her emails were unclear. She has never been particularly clear in her communications. Some emails have been lost because people like to 'reply all' when they shouldn't and it gets sent to a weird place in my inbox. Both times I sought help, I was definitely looked down upon. I don't like the attitude she delivered when I dared ask her questions about her email. I left the room without actually being able to ask my question because she got mad about my confusion. I figured I'd wing it, since communication was not allowed. I then responded to an email saying that I had already submitted the final exams, since there were 2 emails saying I needed to change the answer key. I was told I gave the test on the wrong day, and I need to read my emails. I read them about 10 times, and could have read them 20, and would still not have had that information. The email she was referring to was about the last day of class, not the day of the final. I did have a document from the beginning of the term offering exact information on the date, however, and followed this information. Blame was placed on me once again for information that was not clear. I know for a fact another teacher gave the final on that day because we are Monday classes and the schedule said to. Although I only observed one other cases of this, I am positive there are others. I don't enjoy being reprimanded for seeking clarity and assistance, and this is what I seem to get for trying to get it right. Since there is no way to get it right, the only way to get is out. Once I was told that she did not want a "back and forth", I knew it was over. You cannot argue with someone who is always right. If I can't do my job properly, why even bother? It's really a shame, being defensive when someone has questions isn't good leadership.
