Honestly, I'd rather do that than be a teacher. Thankfully I don't have to do either of those jobs again though.

Were you good at your job? People who hate teaching are usually not good at building relationships with students. Theres so much that goes into being able to do the job well and get enjoyment out of it than just showing up and relaying information. Problems with an administration is usually fixed with a simple switch to a new school or district.

Lol everyone thinks it's the kids, but no, that's the easy part. Just sick of the fucking politics. If someone you work with doesn't like you or the way you're teaching, you can lose your job over that.

Well Common Joe, in all seriousness, good luck. Just remember, hard work will get you nowhere, it's all about the politics of who likes you.

I addressed that in the last sentence of my post. Every school/district is different. The school Im in right now is VERY political. I got screwed out of a head coaching position solely because our local board member wanted to do favors for his buddies that have sons looking for their first gig, plus the principal wants to do favors for her friends as well. Unfortunately Im stuck because no one is retiring anywhere. I have an offer to coach in another district, but no teaching spots are available.

Honestly, I've been to 4 different schools, and the only one that was worth a fuck was the first one, and even that one was political.

Just so tired of all that. I know there are politics everywhere, but teaching is one of the worst, if not the worst job for that.

Fair enough. You are correct. I guess Im just a glutton for punishment lol. But, I have a little leverage being SPED certified AND the most experienced football coach. The principal is wringing her hands trying to figure out if Im going to leave them high and dry.

At the last school I was at, the principal was friends with one of the teachers... always hanging out together, drinking together... probably hooking up together. Her friend got mad when I said I would rather not teach 8th grade because she didnt want to do it... after that I was put on a "growth plan" and written up over and over again until our school went to remote learning. I tried explaining that to the super intendent, HR, and the school board and was told that if I didn't resign, I would be terminated.

... and that's not the first time something like that has happened... so yeah, fuck teaching. hopefully the government is better.

My principal is similar except shes not so direct. She ran off two popular teachers early in the year by making little snide comments to others while they were in earshot, and made it impossible for the detention teacher to leave his room(old football coach who rarely had any students put in his room). She tried that subtle approach with me, but when she saw me talking to a union rep she backed off. But, she did what she had to do when she hired a 22 year old over me, that had been at the school for 8 years, to be the football coach. Im just waiting for the right job opening to skip out on them. Theyre in trouble if I quit.

Eh, union reps won't do anything. I saw that they can't be in a meeting with a principal unless the principal consents.

I think I'm going to file an EEOC grievance after I get my last check though. Also, I'd like to contact the state education agency. Even if they don't do anything, which they probably won't, I want to put my 2 cents in.
