Big headed co-workers

Don't you just hate co-workers who think that their shit doesn't stink? I have stundent in my homeroom who is the child of a teacher at my school. He constantly crosses the line between teacher and parent. For one, he got mad because parents weren't allowed to go to Domino's Pizza Ranch sponsored by the County Extention office, so he didn't let his "step daughter" go. This is not his child, just a step child. He got back at me by blasting me about her grades. Oh did I mention that she had an 88 average in Language Arts? Boy, that's really a bad grade huh? Not to mention this was on a 3 weeks progress report, not a grade on her report card. So, he proceeds to email me back and forth about how bad a teacher I am, etc. etc., and he sends ALL his emails to me and my responses back to him to the principal. Now any other time this would bother me, but my principal stopped me in the hall and hugged my neck because I have been the only one since he married another teacher on our campus to tell him off.

Well, this sets up what I'm about tell what he did yesterday morning. He came around while we were on our way to PE, and deleted the "games" from the Windows XP operating system. You know the ones that come preloaded when you buy a computer? He did this to all fourth grade teacher's computers. I haven't found out if he did it to all computers on the campus or not yet. I have been guilty of playing solitaire while the kids are working not very often though, or the last 30 minutes of my day AFTER the kids have left, or while I am on my conference period (this is where I can do anything I want), or the first 30-40 minutes before the kids enter the classroom. So, it's not like I play ALL day during class, it's mostly when the kids are not in the room on my time.

I'm not happy about it yes, but this isn't the problem. The problem is that he is so damn big headed, vindictive, asshole, did Imention asshole. He did this because I pissed him off with the field trip and telling him off. This is the only way he could get me back for that. If I find out that it was only the fourth grade hall that he did this to, then is it for sure that he retalliated against all 6 of us for not allowing him to go on the trip.

I really think I am totally burnedout. Teaching isn't what it used to be. Kids keep getting more disruptive, disrespectful, dumber, less and less common sense...parents are getting worse about not taking responsibility for their child's behavior, so quick to blame the teacher for their child's behavior, quick to say that we are all the worst teachers on the planet, and not wanting to hear anything about consequences their child received due to their child not behaving according to the Student Handbook rules and consequences. One parent told me that the only thing I must've learned in college is how to write demerits, "because you are so good at it". Another told me that the demerit their child got was uncalled for...let's not mention that they have 30 minutes before class actually starts for them to get everything they need for the day ready...let's not mention that Rule 3 in our student handbook says "Have all materials ready for class" (does this mean pencils, homework for the class they left my room for, etc.?), and I remind them about 6 times before they leave my room to get everything ready for math and science.

Okay I'm rambling...am I just the only one who sees this?
