First time poster, so here goes.
I'm starting school tomorrow having just done my PGCE and one months transition before six week hols. The thing is, I got my job fairly early in the course and by the end of the course, I knew teaching wasn't really for me but I was already tied into a contract.
I'm just wondering if I should tell the hod of my intention to quit during tomorrow's inset or should I just hand my notice in before Oct? I don't want school trying to talk me out of it (they are super supportive) but don't want it to be out of the blue.
I enjoy working with kids but despise how the work never ends and feels all consuming. I'm nearly 40 with teenage kids and moved from a minimum wage job hoping to do something that would allow our family to finally stop struggling financially. However, this job just stresses me constantly and aggravates my anxiety. I've been looking at other jobs and am optimistic that I've gained some great experience but want to be able to move on asap. I'm aware that contractually I should work til Xmas but I'm absolutely dreading these next few months.
Sorry for the mini essay, I just wanted to give as much info as possible.
