I am resigning from teaching - and I can't wait.

[Finallyquitting]

Just wanted to share this, have nchanged. I have been a teacher for ten years, now on the SMT for my roles within school.
This year has done me in finally and I am resigning after Christmas and I couldn't be happier. The fact that I have no other job to go to is not really on my mind at the moment!!

It's just got too much for all the reasons given in so many threads and I have read how teachers have left on MN and been so envious, well now I am joining them!
DH is slightly worried about what's next but I have recently specialised in a different area so am going to go down that route.

So agree 8 reasons.

Yes I agree too.

Yes and overwhelmingly educated in the private sector at that.

The great majority of people making decisions about the curriculum, expectations, testing etc have never stepped foot in a state school classroom.

And neither will their children.
