I just had to send a really nasty email to a teacher this morning.  He is on my team and he and a third grade teacher ran a "friendship"  until just after Christmas.  They sat together.  They were always in each others room.  They talked all night on the phone...

Let me just stop here and say, HE IS MARRIED!  She is not.  However, she met a guy around Crhistmas and dated him until he treated her really bad.  Then she wanted to start up the relationship again.  He held back this time because she really "hurt" him before.  So, she latched on to the brand new male 5th grade teacher, WHO IS ALSO MARRIED!  Now they are an item.  I have heard students refer to him as her boyfriend.  Did I say HE IS MARRIED???

Anyway, now my guy is ticked off all the time.  He doesn't want to sit in meetings where "they" are together.  He doesn't want to go to luncheons because "they" are together.  He crossed the line today when he took his class out to recess instead of to the student talent show because he didn't want to see "them" sit together. 

I told him off royal.  I called him unprofessional and told him to keep that crap out of the schools.  He is married and needs to remember it or get a divorce before he begins another relationship.  I am sick of dealing with high school feelings.  I also told him to get a grip on his professional life before he cause an irreversible problem.  This guy is new to teaching but not new to the world.  He is 40!  When do they grow up?  This is the most childish display of feelings I have encountered since my children lived at home.  He has whined, cried, stamped his foot, you name it, he has done it.  Give me a professional break!
