Hi everyone! I’m a second year teacher in the New York City Teaching Fellows Program. For those out of state, it’s a program for career-changers that has you completing grad work that is subsidized by NYC. I’m a science teacher who joined the program as a means of getting out of a previous dead end job as well as a financially sound way of getting a masters (I didn’t really care about what the…
I recently recorded a video about a video about a theory I had in regards to Teacher burnout. It was about waiting. Waiting for the next paycheck. Waiting for the next contract. Waiting for the next step on the salary guide. Waiting for retirement. For many teachers, we exchange our time for money and hope that eventually we will have enough saved to stop. When I started teaching 15 years ago,…
Hi all, Just writing on here to try to talk with people who get the struggle that I’m going through. I’m having an extremely hard time with the thought of quitting less than two full weeks into school but I truly think my mental health cannot take another day of teaching. I previously taught a self contained k-2 MD(multiple disabilities) classroom in Ohio and now I’m the teacher of a k-5 Autism…
Hi all, tired second-year ELA teacher here. Was hoping year two would be better, but they gave me a new section to teach. Feel like a first-year teacher again. I’m mentally exhausted. I don’t know if I can stay the year to fully clear my credential. I don’t know if I have the capacity to. I’m really tired of this job. Might be a stupid question, but how do you resign? I teach in CA. Not sure if…
Does I sound like I am ready for a career change? Advice needed. I’m a 5th year teacher in a title I school. I’ve been at 5 different schools - 4 of them have been title I and one of them has been a “rich kids” public school. Since last year I’ve seriously considered leaving teaching. There is no provided curriculum in the district I’m in, and the kids behavior problems are unmanageable, and the…
I have been in the field of education for 12 years. . At 19, I got a job at my former elementary school as a special education paraprofessional. I worked in that position all through college and graduated during 2020. At this point, I resigned and moved into behavioral health. I only lasted 9 months there because I missed teaching. I got a job at an alternative middle and high school as a special…

I posted this in a science teachers sub. Thought I'd post here. Interested to see if there is anybody out there with a similar story. Looking at quitting after 20 years in a small town. I'm a very popular teacher and I'm sure the community and the students will not take it lightly if I do. My workload has increased so much over the last 3 years it's just getting ridiculous. At this point I realize…

I taught for three years a combo of Spanish/social studies, and building subbing. I got a job at a non profit that starts in less than two weeks. But this is also terrifying. I am an at-will employee with no union. I am so scared of getting fired and being good enough in this new role. The interview and company seem really, really relaxed but of course you don't know until you get there. My…
