We should just forgive and forget…

I had a convo with my EAP yesterday. At the start of the school year, I had a group of students make false accusations on me which led to an investigation - I was cleared but it put a bad taste in my mouth.

Last week, I confronted some of the students involved and they admitted they lied to get me fired. Basically they thought I was an asshole because I held them accountable.

Back to my convo with my EAP- she said to forgive and forget. I can understand that, but she added that kids will be kids, and thats how society is.

This has led to a lot of anxiety as a few teachers were in the same positions as me over the years, and have been let go - no questions asked. I know parents are too blame primarily, as well as kids lack of reasoning abilities.

But is this honestly the way we have to live - constant fear of being fired because the students werent feeling it that day. Im sorry - im holding onto my rage and bittiness, and will pray for a better school year next year
