So sorry By dustyb12

I am so sorry you are feeling that way. I think about quitting all the time especially last year when I was moved to Kindergarten from 3rd and then 12 weeks later moved back up to 3rd to the lowest class EVER! And now this

year we have changed our curriculum and I feel like a 1st year teacher all over again! If your heart is not into and you do not enjoy ANY part of it, then don't stay. The kids will notice and it will reflect on them. They will pick up your attitude. On the days I feel like going home and never returning, I think about the reasons I signed up for this job. For example,

when you have a C student who becomes an A/B student, the student who's home life is horrible and you are their safe haven and give them a safe place to go for a while, or the child who touches your heart and stays in contact with you for many years. Those thoughts of making a difference no matter how small, help me get up in the morning and start my day with little pay and respect.

Remember that money does not buy happiness. There are many pros and cons to every job and there is A LOT of stress in all jobs. Make sure you follow your heart and do what makes you happy.
