If you left teaching what did you go on to?

I had a really tough day today and parTly just need to vent and partly need some advice.

I think at the place I’m in now I really don’t know if I can carry on teaching, I’m losing passion for it on a daily basis. The good kids are amazing but the bad are awful. I got told “spotty features” and another shouted something so bad I just wanted to burst into tears another told me “I’m an arrogant so and so” for them flinging a chair across a room, I learnt not to let much get to me but this just did.

Since I’ve been back after summer I’ve lost the passion to teach, I just feel like I’m on auto pilot, I work with others who just seem to know jr all and one up each other in meetings. The kids simply do not listen and it just feels exhausting.

Part of me wants to stay or maybe this school just isn’t right, but then another part of me thinks, maybe I’m just not a good teacher and actually it might be time to find something that I do genuinely feel more passion for.

How is everyone else getting on?

Why are you typing in caps lock? Has anyone told you there’s no need? Lower case will suffice.

If you want a closed conversation with an individual, an open internet forum isn’t the right place for it.

To be honest, I'm struggling to think of any career that might suit your particularly abrasive personality as it's coming across on this and other threads.

You've been nothing but rude and abrasive to people who've genuinely been trying to help.

Oh man, what did she say about me that was so bad it got deleted?
