Hi I am a teaching assistant that has been working for two years in m present school where I have had no problems and have loved everything about it until now. Last week a child in the dinner hall was been naughty and when told to stop it replied with comments like " you are nobody, your not a teacher I don't answer to you". I decided to wait for his TA to return from lunch when he began calling me names in front of all the other children. I told him to come to the head immediately, he wouldn't. I went to my head and asked him for help when I was told " I need to step away and calm down and that I should follow the behavioural policy and not have gone to him directly" and refused to come to help. I returned to the hall where the child realised I was not supported and left the hall. This week the child was in the playground when other children told me he was hurting them so I approached him and asked him to come to me which he refused. I gave him the choice of coming to speak to me or that I would go for his TA to speak to him. He ignored me, so I turned and walked to the staff room. When I was near the staffroom I was hit in the back of the head by a hula hoop. Seemingly the boy had ran after me and thrown it at the back of my head. Nothing was done to the boy except he was made to come and apologise to me 24 hours later. He has recieved no sanction for his actions. Not one person from senior management has even spoken to me about it or anything. Is this acceptable? am I over reacting? I feel let down and frankly a bit worthless as a TA. I am expected to accept this level of abuse. To be chased and hit in the back of the head and not have any back up or support?
