Cheers for your help guys, at the end of the day I need to look at it like this. Every place you go there will be idiots, I need to get used to it. I will be graduating in the next month, so its not my future career as such at an Infant School. I will have two years of I.T. Experiance 1) In the commercial environment 2) One in two schools and a degree so I will be fine Wont let it get to me as its not important at the end of the day. !!

Hes the chap who responsible for me yes, my boss is the head. Who at times speaks to me like a pupil and other times is perfectly fine. Its the completely different management styles at the two schools I work at which gets me. Apart from my experiance at tesco and a car dealership, the private sector (I worked for a company which sells commercial boilers) for my placement year was amazing to work for. They had about 100 staff and I used to go out on partying with the directors and everything. I will ring the head up to explain I have made a list of suggestions I think will help improve communication etc and I will explain in more detail when I am in next week. Nevertheless this has tipped it for me, I will be looking for another job in september when I return from a months travelling. Graduate schemes to as I graduate in a few weeks. Its unfortunate because I enjoy working at the other School. I also think that because I am a young guy they can treat me like sh*t!! grr

My plan of action is: 1) Explain the School Care problem 2) Ask to implement a helpdesk system (we have a book at the moment) 3) Explain that teachers need laptops to teach 4) Say I will only do jobs that you have requested in the help desk Grr I am so angry. At the advise of my cousin, he suggested I wait till next tuesday when I am in and come in with a plan of action and tell them how I am going to fix the ""issues"" presented with myself and how things are run.

Yes but he keeps blaming me! Saying I should of completed his list etc which he told me to do 2 hours before I left. I was prioritising work load and trying to do five things at once, also doing requests from teachers.

I.C.T Coordinator
