Topic	Guys, I'm leaving teaching.
Cocytus 02/01/22 4:45:27 PM #20:	Autocraticus posted... Its a shame. I've been in teaching for 11 years and I was feeling the burn out also. I switched schools and I've never felt more rejuvenated. What is pushing you out of the profession? Just about every damn thing atm. I hate administration. They're fucking pussies with discipline, then get mad at you when you try and discipline a kid. I hate the bitch department head like I haven't hated anyone in my life, it feels like. I hate that I can't teach what I want to teach and the way I want to. there used to be freedom. Now all we do is bullshit for the state test. And that's another thing. The state test and the administrators. My kids cannot read. I am not bullshitting. They cannot write either. I mean, I know they're there to learn that, but they are WAY fucking below functional reading levels. And they have to pass that test, and they are fucking doomed because they won't pass it, and administration doesn't want to hear this as a response when they fail the fucking tests. I stopped going. I just stopped. They in turn sort of demoted me (gave me a "worse" set of kids, switch me out with another teacher). And I just was like fuck this and resigned. <cite>Cocytus posted [p:962278953] in Guys, I'm ... [t:79879898]...</cite> <quote>Autocraticus posted... </cite> <quote>Its a shame.
