High school teacher with hearing impairment gets job stolen by colleage, gets to watch her struggle to adjust to the new position: ‘What has taken me minutes is taking Tenny sometimes hours’

Being a teacher is incredibly tough, and I'm not even talking about the usual teacher stuff. Yes, lesson planning, grading mountains of assignments, dealing with concerned parents, and essentially being a second parent to hundreds of kids throughout you life are difficult to manage, but they are the expected job requirements. Anyone who's worked in education knows that there's a whole other side to the job: staff dynamics. The teacher cliques and petty rivalries can have many teachers feeling like they're back in high school in more ways than one. 

I was a teaching assistant for a few months after college and witnessed firsthand just how tense the workplace can get behind-the-scenes at a place of education. Thankfully, no drama was directed at me, but the teacher I was assigned to assist gave me so much second-hand stress from constantly dealing with deliberate miscommunication and near-sabotage on the part of her fellow educators. This is around the time I learned that the kids are definitely the least problematic aspect of working in education.

This is the sort of tension that is at the center of this story, wherein in a teacher with both hearing challenges and a talent for data and parent communication is totally undermined by her new boss and colleague. Eventually, she is replaced, despite being very competent at her job. Despite the loss of her official title, what happens next is the best type of comeuppance a teacher could ask for.
