I'm a primary school teacher, currently on M6, so I will need to submit my Threshold file in May to go onto UPS1 in September.
The problem is....I'm really unhappy at school, and would love to be a SAHM. I do enjoy teaching, but the ridiculous amount of paperwork and assessment is slowly sucking the life out of me...I have zero work life balance and it's really getting me down.
Should I stick it out and get through threshold (and possibly aim to go down to 3/4 days), look for a new job elsewhere or just leave teaching and join a francise like Kip McGrath, as financially I need to be working???
Sorry for the long post, but I am at my wit's end. I can't sleep through thinking about what I'm going to do, I'm getting observed on Friday by my not-very-helpful Deputy Head and Literacy Coordinator, and I'm coming down with a cold! :(
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
TIA
