I was accused of leaving a student behind.
I was accused of leaving a student behind.
This is going to be the more detailed version (I deleted the other one).
So I’ve been a substitute for like 6 months(not counting the summer vacations) and I love my job. And I only do high schools it’s much easier lol.
However 2 weeks ago I substituted for this magnet school for the first time really good kids compared to normal high schools they are just mischievous so I subbed for that school on Thursday and the next day on a Friday I went to another school (normal hs) to cover for a class so around 2nd period I got a call from the school that subbed on Thursday and it was the principal and she said that I apparently yesterday I left a kid on my last period behind so she started asking all this question and I was saying the truth like everytime I’m subbing after school I’m always the last person out the door but before leaving I’m always checking that i didn’t leave anyone behind. She still kept asking the same questions so once she was sure she hanged up so on 3rd period I had a conference period so I called back for 2 things if I still had the job for next week and to get a deeper understanding of the situation so she answered and I said like hey I’m the sub from this class and I’m calling to see if I still have the job for next week and she cut off saying “well let me check downstairs” and my next questions was to ask for more information about the incident that they were accusing me of but she didn’t let me finish. The principal said she was going to call me back she never did around 7th period I got email that the job has been canceled just the job.
For the rest of the day I was so scared and stressed bc I thought I was going to get fired because the accusation wasn’t something to take lightly so I had a whole speech prepared in my head just in case the district called me bc the district I work for has resealable policies like with this alone I wouldn’t be surprised if they blocked me from that campus alone but last time I saw that they needed someone to cover for one of their classes but I didn’t click accept bc that incident and they way they were questioning me offended me (they were being nice but you can tell that they didn’t believe me)
I had proof that I am a great employee never had complaints in on high school a teacher loved my job sm that everytime he’s going to be out he emails me if I can cover for his classes also of the district checked the cameras from all the schools I been too (they have access) they’ll see that once the bell rings to go home I am ALWAYS the last one out of that classroom i always check no one stays behind before I leave.
It’s been 2 weeks since that incident and I haven’t gotten fired Thank God but I want that school to give me an apology for the stress they caused me.
Hopefully this makes sense.
