Student teacher here! I feel exactly like this. The anxiety. The guilt. Not feeling like myself. My gut is telling me to get out now, but I don’t want to let everyone down.

[@byBriannaStone]

I would recommend not going into teaching......... the guilt will pass, look out for yourself and your mental health.

[@Heyu7her3]

I say finish (if this is your last step), get your certification, & then use that to leverage in your job apps. Could be used in nonprofit work & education outreach. Good luck!

[@sunbox4700]

Teach online school!!

[@_pitschool]

You won’t regret letting people down, as much as you’ll regret wasting your time, not getting out when you need to!

[@daman0015]

Thank you for shedding light on this issue. My opinion is that if you want to go into teaching, don’t. There’s so much that goes on behind the scenes you just don’t see. The job is incredibly stressful and you’re overworked for trash pay. These kids are NOT the way they were when we were in school.

[@juliaship13]

I feel like to tell people to never go into teaching is going to put society in a very bad place as there will be no education and what little educators they still are, are not going to be compassionate like we have now. It’s a double edged sword.

[@daman0015]

@@juliaship13 You have a point, but at the end of the day, that is where education is headed anyway. People already know how miserable of a profession it is, which is why there has been such a decline in teaching majors and massive turnover. Kids do not care about schooling anymore. They find it pointless, and they are there just to be there. I feel like it dwindling day-by-day, and it will not get better unless there is a massive overhaul of the entire K-12 system.

[@UziZokal]

Agree. I would tell those who want to teach only do it if it's your passion. My passion is gone after a year.

[@Heyu7her3]

Definitely don't teach in a state that doesnt have strong teacher's unions.

[@Heyu7her3]

​@@daman0015 well, parents don't care. they still keep having kids & many see it as free babysitting with perks of stuff they don't have to address. many elementary students don't know how to tie their shoes. how?

[@UziZokal]

I like teaching, I dont like being a teacher. Everything you said is me. All the breaks I have anxiety. Thanksgiving break all week. When weekend comes I feel guilty if I dont lesson plan and grade on friday night and Saturday. Hate that there is no work / life balance. The job consumes you so much that you can't even look for a new job. For me, the kids are not enough for me to stay. Honestly, their behaviors make me want to run.

[@MrJessietyson]

The anxiety is hard to deal with. This is my 5th year and this the year I really tried to have the best mindset, but I’m over it. At this point I’m just surviving

[@lanepybas6991]

Thank you for sharing your story. I’m in year 2 and I know in my heart that I don’t want to be a teacher either.

[@byBriannaStone]

🥺🥺

[@geangarcia2673]

More. Let these teacher-quitting discourses grow more! Let them grow into a big ball to annoy administration with! ❤

[@RBLXGaming23]

Sounds like subbing was easy but once you became a full-fledged teacher the real stressors kicked in.

[@jrm371]

This is my second full year teaching and I’m also doubting my future in this profession. I enjoyed subbing and being an instructional assistant much more. To put it simply: it’s not worth it. The job is too stressful and too underpaid and you’re too overworked.

[@kdoddieTR]

I quit 3 years in as well. My first year into Covid was my last year teaching. Congratulations sis!!!

[@kdoddieTR]

Also I didn’t go to school to teach either. But later got licensed. I learned that it was meant to be my stepping stone & that it was! I’m now getting paid more, working less, & happier! Went back to a career field similar to what i went to school for originally & I’m thriving here! Also, went back and got my license & certification for that degree as well, ALL DURING THE PANDEMIC. I have no regrets. Although i loved my kids & crazy families I have no plans to return to the classroom.

[@byBriannaStone]

That's awesome! And thank you 🩷

The eye twitch…I forgot about that…

[@isabellelindberg5363]

I am 28 years old and have been a teacher for 3 years. I have a master's degree and studied for 4 years to become a teacher... I know all your feelings about Sunday scaries, always feeling tired and always thinking about work and lesson planning. This summer I got a feeling, like an awakening - "Quit". It kind of came from nowhere, but I had been spending all summer thinking about "wonder who my new colleagues are, wonder if we will be enough teachers for these kids, wonder if the colleagues will be professional" and so on... It's not right spending your summer's vacation feeling anxious. I have now been back to work for two weeks and two of my colleagues are very unprofessional and don't take their work seriously. I have done everything. I have decorating classrooms, writing letters to parents, planed the whole first week for our first graders and so on... And the two colleagues have already been home "sick" these first days of school. The admin can't seem to fire anyone because there are not enough people to hire. There is so much stuff that I find negative about this job as the days goes by and I feel sorry for it. The salary is not worth it either. If you had worked for 25+ years you won't get extra credit for it with better pay. You earn just a couple hundreds more than a teacher like me that had only been in the career for some years. I love the children and to make their days and they like me too, but this is not my calling if I'm feeling this anxious and tired all the time. I will try to survive this school year and then quit and go back to college to study something else... Feels a bit crazy but it also lightens my heart. I have always had a big interest in the tech world, like coding, but had always had a low confidences in applying something in that field. But now it's my time...

[@claire.owensdrafts]

Hi. I ran across this video and saw your comment. I feel this exact same way. I am trying to survive this year, but I will definitely not be returning after this year. Also, I am currently looking for other opportunities and if I come across something I like I am definitely taking it. You're right. The things you have to deal with is not worth it. I am on year 10 and feeling this way about a job constantly is no way to live. Fellow educator rooting for you.

[@glennwatson3313]

You gotta stop worrying about what other people are doing.

[@kdog3334]

I’m sorry you’re going through this but most of these problems are with the school you’re working at, not teaching. Switch schools or even districts before dropping your career

[@amylee8969]

@isabellelindberg5363 I was 27 going on 28 when I did my student teaching. This was in 2018, so clearly it didn’t prepare me for these post-covid kids 😂🤷🏽‍♀️

[@GeeMvria]

I was in the process of getting my certification through Texas Teachers when I decided teaching wasn’t for me. I was an after school instructor for a year and I SWORE it was what I wanted to do long term. It wasn’t until I started doing my observation hours where I began doubting myself. Long story short I’m working in a law firm now! Teaching wasn’t for some of us and that’s okay ♥️ Wishing you luck on your new job!

[@byBriannaStone]

I’m glad you figured it out before going into teaching! Happy for you! Thank you ❤️

[@exceptionaltalentspc4954]

Good for you for trying and realizing teaching is not for you. I've been told that I'm a great teacher and I have tried teaching in public schools and private schools only to realize that although I do enjoy the teaching part I don't actually enjoy all the other stuff that comes along with it such as students behavior and administrative demands. Life is too short and you need to do what makes you happy.

[@brynnwalk4390]

I always wanted to ask you how did hearing about school shootings constantly while being a teacher affect you, but I didn't want to seem like I was fear-mongering. It's good to hear you talk about it and be so honest while doing so.

[@byBriannaStone]

I definitely plan on making more videos talking about what it was like being a teacher- and about the fear of school shootings in more detail because it was something that was ALWAYS on my mind

[@JessicaTayB]

I’m a teacher currently. We just heard about a school shooting last week that happened 30 minutes away from us. It’s always in your mind, and sometimes it doesn’t feel worth it. You always think of protocols and action plans for if that does happen.

[@Heyu7her3]

I actually feel more unsafe in other environments, eg shopping, in the open public, college campus. The US has a terrible culture around violence.

[@animemangaluv13]

I started teaching because of you 😢🎉 but so proud of you for toughing it out

[@byBriannaStone]

Awwww keep going!!

[@Augfordpdoggie]

now you can quit because of her

[@latinbeautymaria]

This is the reality of school nowadays. If the teachers feel like this, they have a choice. Imagine how the students feel. This is a horrible state of things. Education needs to take a turn for the better ASAP.

[@byBriannaStone]

Agreed

[@Jade.123]

I was in the doctors office 3 times in one month when I took a teaching job. The kids are not ok and they need to fix it

[@amylee8969]

It’s always sad to see things getting so bad that teacher are driven away into quitting. As teachers we always wanna be there for the kids we love. But there’s only so much a human can take.

[@BREASHONTELL]

Yes I’m done teaching I been teaching for 12 years and subbing as my last time in the classroom and I was burnt out I got tired of the bad behaviors coming home with migraines stress and waking up with anxiety and the eye twitching . Girl I been there wanting to get out of education so bad I was applying for many jobs over 5,000 jobs constantly getting rejected. Feeling like I’m never going to get out of the classroom. Till I took matters into my own hands i continued to sub while I paid for my business to get off on the ground. Pretty soon I got some sales and my business continued to flourish and I have been happier ever since.❤

[@Heyu7her3]

Business seems worse for work-life balance. I couldn't do it.

[@dianerivamartinez1009]

Congrats Miss Brianna on prioritizing your health! Not all teachers have the guts to do it. The first 3-5 years of teaching is actually a teacher's "decision-making" time. It is where you will get a wider idea on what teaching, especially in the public schools, is. I have been teaching for almost 10 yrs now and I am having anxiety coz in our country there are a lot of drastic change happening in our educational system. It kind of eats me up. If only I have your strength to leave teaching and land a better job.

[@byBriannaStone]

Do whatever is best for YOU- don’t worry about what other people may think or say. Your happiness is what matter most- not a job

[@Jane5720]

You do!

I work in corporate, so I never knew firsthand the stress that comes with being a teacher, but I can only imagine. I'm happy that you did what was best for your mental health. Best of luck in your new job and looking forward to hearing updates!!!

[@Jedi12789]

Teaching is just like a corporate job except your in charge of the students and you can’t let them go and you have to show demonstrable results (test score data) that they learned something in your class.

[@Stephen_A.]

Wow, I had no idea what you were going through with your teaching job. I wondered why you slept so much after school thinking that you were super busy in the classroom. Now I know. ❤ Living just to get to the end of the day is not living. I'm happy you are taking the steps to turn your life in the direction that makes you the happiest.

As someone who’s taught and subbed for 25+ years, I can completely understand needing to get out of the classroom and away from campuses. I only subbed a few times in 2021 when most schools were hybrid. My local district in town offered ZERO training for subs teaching online using new programs they’d implemented. I considered returning to subbing this year because the pay is pretty good for the area , I enjoyed the kids and teaching in general. However, school started on Aug. 10th and every single day there have been fights and/or threats of shootings or stabbings at several schools in the District. Most of the threats are at the Middle Schools & High Schools. The district has over 30,000 students (TK-12th). Today a 13 year old was arrested for making criminal threats. He made a statement threatening to commit a school shooting. The statement was made to a Staff member. A 6th grader posted on social media he was going to take a gun and shoot kids at school. Everyday there are fights and threats made at the MS (5) & HS (4) campuses. There are no serious consequences by the school district to deter others from doing the same thing. Teachers have been injured & today a fight broke out in a classroom where there was a sub. I know several who said they are quitting because there is nothing done about it. They are looking at smaller, independent districts & private schools that follow through on what they say.

[@marcmeinzer8859]

The real problem is the currently prevalent attitude that anyone can be successfully educated, at least from an academic standpoint. This reveals a total ignorance of the implications of having a below average IQ. It is my contention that persons who cannot handle individual academic subjects require vocational training which is team oriented and focused on projects, just like the world of work. And this applies to at least half of the population or in some school districts perhaps even two-thirds of the kids. I’ve had reading classes in a large urban high school where the smartest kid in the class had an IQ of only 90 and several of the kids only had a 3rd grade reading level even though they had been socially promoted all the way to the 10th grade. This social promotion nonsense needs to end at the very latest with the 7th grade but perhaps as early as the 5th grade, at which point the illiterates need to be shunted off into full time manual arts supplemented with recreational reading, art appreciation, and so forth preferably ungraded so as to avoid humiliating the poor little simpletons. And yes, such types are indeed simpletons. But that needn’t be the end of the world provided they get realistic and appropriate trades training so they’re capable of working when they reach their late teens. And by working I don’t mean dead end service and retail jobs. They need to learn skilled trades.

I was a career changer at age 45 to teaching. I spent evenings and weekends grading classwork & tests, writing lesson plans, following up with emails, creating weekly newsletters, creating computer presentations, etc. Students would crumple up the lessons I passed out- threw them on the floor. I lasted nearly 10 years, behavior issues put me over the edge. No pension now, no nice retirement, no insurance. Stressed and anxious too now, but I just couldn’t do it anymore.

I can relate so much to how you were feeling while teaching. I'm a preschool teacher and teaching can feel rewarding at first but there's so much that goes on that you are not told until you experience it. At the moment, i'm also at a point where I'm re-evaluating the pro's and con's of whether I want to come back or not next school year but I'm to what seems like holding on by a thread to try to finish the school year. It's affecting me mentally and emotionally and I'm not liking that I'm putting my mental health as a least priority. Trying to stay positive and hoping that a better opportunity arises.

I got my BA and teaching credential and never taught. As an adult, I always worked in Higher Ed. My last job was so stressful, that I never wanted to go back into that field. I got a job teaching for a private tutoring company. Very fun, rewarding and I love it. Started out in-person, but transitioned to 100% online format. Very convenient and no longer commute anywhere. I have over 30 students over 5 days. :) I too would be stressed working at a public school, but this online program is perfect for me. Likely isn’t something that everyone would like, but definitely doesn’t keep me up at night. :) Good luck in your next career!

[@latonyalee7821]

I am currently a sub and have been since 2018 (NC & FL). I've taught preschool but plan to teach Kindergarten in the Fall. I've been blessed to sub at 5 wonderful (top high and middle) schools in Jacksonville, FL. However, there's no amount of money that would persuade me to teach past 2nd grade. Some of these middle school girls and these attitudes along with the cell phone issue would drive me crazy. I am self-employed for the most part but find it difficult to get things I want (new house, car, etc) because my income isn't steady, so I'm going to teach for 2-3 years and see how it goes. I'm happy you got out and are in a happier place. I was at a school 3 years ago where a student was shot as we were leaving. That almost took me out but I landed in much better schools now.

Teaching is never ending controlled chaos where you are always at fault according to both parents and administration. You need to really have a passion to move forward.

[@Jedi12789]

Hey, a few things: 1) great video and story 2) ppl are realizing teaching is not a fall back/plan b career and that most jobs are easier as there are after school duties that can turn teaching into a 60-70 hr. Week. 3) even at your worst you are better than no person in that classroom - states can’t fill these teaching jobs now. 4) teaching can be rewarding and both soul sucking at the same time 5) teaching is hard whether it’s year 1, 5, 15, or 25. It’s constantly changing and you have to be adaptable to make it. Good luck.

I’m in my third year of teaching currently. I got a scholarship for all four years of college and am required to complete that many years in the field before I can walk away. As soon as I finish this next year, I’m walking away from this career for good. Lack of parent and admin support, kids not respecting me, and making such little money have been the biggest factors for sure. My mental health has been absolutely destroyed this current year with all of the responsibilities piling up. I totally relate with the stress and anxiety. It’s just not worth it and can’t even enjoy time off. Also COVID has absolutely had a huge effect on these kids even years later. These kids lack basic skills they should’ve learned already. The phones are also destroying these kids’ minds. So yeah, just trying my best to get through it as positively as I can but it’s been very challenging. They really don’t tell you about ANY of this stuff behind the scenes at schools. I can’t wait to be done

Barbers make good money once u get certified if u Kno how to do hair well definitely recommend Barber or cosmetology school

[@RBLXGaming23]

You picked the wrong grade level. Always go with the kiddies. Much less stress.

[@DavidGivinsnhe]

Shhhhhhhhhh😊😅😂❤

[@danapride]

Not true! I am in seconds grade, and we are stressed to the max. Yes school shooting was threatened this year from an unhappy parent.

[@ethanm3323]

I’m curious as to why you were having such a problem? Was it the shooting? Do you have some type of anxiety disorder? I didn’t hear anything about bad students are you being hit or assaulted so I’m just wondering.

[@whatever5922]

It’s so sad that school shootings have just become a norm almost. I wanted to become a teacher but shootings are the main reason why I didn’t become one, I would rather teach in another country

[@williamstraughan2949]

i would never be a cop are teacher

[@Heyu7her3]

Many of the best teachers I've come across came into education after another career

[@patricblack1]

I remember when you first started talking about teaching.....

10 minutes away. Didn't your school go into lockdown damn that's close

[@MelToll]

You didn’t give them two weeks notice? 😮

[@byBriannaStone]

No lol

[@marcmeinzer8859]

My only quibble with what you are saying would be to criticize your statement that you’re not trying to “discourage” people from entering teaching. In reality, people should be discouraged from wasting their time on teaching school. That is because teaching has become an objectively bad career choice and to the extent that it is no longer a suitable position for anyone with a four year college degree. I could see teaching being all right perhaps for people with 2 year degrees in child care were they hired to supervise and tutor open entry/open exist online students in a brick and mortar setting where no actual planning or grading was called for, as I believe should be the direction in which the schools need to be going. The fact is no one wants to pay teachers what they deserve so that job should be off the table for future consideration by those who haven’t yet committed to it. Since teaching is really little more than babysitting then it should be re-engineered so that the workers are actually babysitters and not professionals who are getting the shaft on a continual and ongoing basis ad nauseam ad infinitum.

[@byBriannaStone]

Okay let me stop you right there because you lost me at comparing teaching to babysitting…

[@byBriannaStone]

It definitely is not and requires a 4 year college education because you are quite literally teaching and educating children… A certified teacher is not the same as a baby sitter or a tutor…..

[@marcmeinzer8859]

You’ve completely missed my point. I taught for seven years and have a bachelor’s degree and was certified as a high school teacher. But the system has become so degraded that teaching is no longer reasonable work for a college graduate. Originally elementary teachers only attended normal school for two years. The system will regress then possibly collapse and you won’t be able to get degreed people to bother with teaching anymore. And yes, teachers even today are mostly baby-sitters. If you can’t see that then you’re out of touch with reality.@@byBriannaStone

[@marcmeinzer8859]

That’s really all it is. When it becomes impossible to get rid of kids who’ve been socially promoted and cannot behave reasonably then by definition that’s all it is. The present system is now collapsing in on itself. To substitute teach where I live you currently only need have a GED.@@byBriannaStone

the only thing more toxic than teaching is covering politics ;)

I made i made it a year and called it quits. Not worth it

[@byBriannaStone]

Smart decision!

[@lafidala.1726]

Im so horrified abiut the gun situation. Of course you wouldn't want to teach anymore! Im so happy to live in Europe where i feel protected by politics

Lol😂try being a credit underwriter for the last 4 years and dealing with incompetent finance managers which are full grown adults. Id rather deal with the kids.

Go be a teacher then lol

[@reilorenzo]

I don't really like that you don't cover specific details to truly inform the natures of teaching and it's issues...more of a gloss-over story time. There are FAR better videos on KZbin covering this topic...

[@byBriannaStone]

Then go watch those videos. I'll talk about what I want to talk about when I want to because this is my channel.

[@Twenty_on3]
