Teaching used to be great - but now it's too dangerous, both physically and mentally. It would be crazy to stay in a job that not only doesn't cover the bills, but puts you in constant, unrelenting stress.
Teachers are asking themselves daily, as they get out of your car in the parking lot, "Will I make it safely through the day? Will I be able to use the bathroom when I need to? Will I have time to eat a proper lunch? Will a parent bypass the office, burst into my room, and swear at me in front of students? How many students will call me a cunt when I insist that they put away the cell phone? Will the 36 yr old principal, who taught PE for two years before becoming an administrator, explain to me again today that behavior issues are to be resolved in class? Will this be the day the dark, brooding kid, who I've referred to the socio-emotional counselor five times, pull a gun? "
When in this situation, they need to leave the profession ASAP. They've been set up to fail. No teacher can do it all by themselves. They must leave the profession until society gets it together and gives teachers the respect and support they need to actually make their efforts viable.
