I Quit Teaching, Here's Why.

[@tamaratamez3700]

This is probably one of the most honest videos I have encountered concerning why teachers, but more why women leave teaching or are frustrated with education. Thank you for taking the time.

[@joythompson9530]

Thank you for this video. I'm a High School Spanish Teacher and I've been professionally bullied my first year and even to this day in my fourth year of Teaching it is still suffocating. My mental health is so low. I don't go out. I stay to myself. I'm looking to get out of this field asap. Your story is inspiring!

[@paigemaria_]

I am so sorry to hear that, Joy. I seriously know the feeling. Do you have any leads on other jobs/industries you’d be interested in doing? I’m sure you are super marketable by being bi-lingual!!

[@joythompson9530]

@@paigemaria_ to be honest I don't have connections. I've been applying for months/years to get out of Teaching. It is to the point I may have to take a risk. Thank you for responding.

Please make it happen

Hey Joy! I’m supposed to start a Spanish HS position next year but if I’m going to resign, need to do so very soon. How are you doing? Did you leave teaching?

[@aiyannaslife9621]

I remember you used to teach me during elementary 😭 so crazy how you just came up on my recommended you taught me when I was in 4th grade I believe:) but I loved you as a teacher and I’m glad you were able to find your passion and one thing I remember is you used to loveeeee Diet Coke i didn’t recognize you at first 😂❤ I’m now a junior In hs

[@TeachersTVAfrica]

Wow. Thank you for appreciating your teacher

[@ABSG7]

I’ve been a high achieving teacher my whole career. I just got the governor’s teacher of the year award. This school year just started, and I am sooooo unmotivated. I don’t feel creative anymore, I don’t want to do anything. I feel like the better you are, the more work they give you. Meanwhile, there are teachers who don’t give much effort at all, who are very low performing, and they get away with it. It’s total bs and I want out. I’m a doctoral student as well so your video really touched me. I have a lot of skills to offer and I would love to get started on my own entrepreneurship journey as well 😢

[@kevinroycope5154]

I need these types of talks to give me the courage to quit teaching.

[@queenmeya7]

Get out. Don't let fear stifle you.

[@Graeberwave]

David Graeber explains the politics (and exploitation) of those in the caring industry, like nurses, or teachers of course. Amazing to hear that corroborated.

I’m working on a video “I Will Quit Teaching.”

[@atomictime9410]

I am a Sub after 32 years in the Air Force. I have a Masters degree in curriculum and instruction. I will never want to be full time. Cell phones and bad behaviour way out of control. The stories I hear from full time teachers make Iraq look better.

[@Jesus_Saves_Believers]

I am 42 with a Master's in education and am certified to teach in two states, and I too am a substitute teacher at high schools and really like it. No way would I ever go into teaching. Too many reasons to list, but student and parent behavior plus I want to enjoy my life... top the list. I know teachers who spend their Summer break worried about the next school year. It's just no way to live.

[@atomictime9410]

@Jesus_Loves_You2 Yep. Same feeling during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Spring break too. I don't give school one thought.

[@user-fy3nf3lg2j]

Anything regarding the service industry sucks hard and yes being a teacher you are still in the service industry.

[@user-fy3nf3lg2j]

Sorry I don’t mean sucks hard I mean is unsustainable

[@glennwatson3313]

I have been a teacher for all most 30 years. If I need a day off I just take it. Its the school's job to find a sub not mine.

[@TeachersTVAfrica]

😂😂😂😂😂😂 wow. No stress

[@breathelectric56]

This is so encouraging! 😊

[@user-fy3nf3lg2j]

Look at the statistics of teachers those don’t lie.

[@veronicajimenez420]

Wow such an inspiration 🎉😊

[@kirstenjohnson_]

Praise God, I want to quit asap. I'm trying to find the outside of the job win.

Quitting in the middle of the year is not fair to the school. Finish the year, then quit.

@glennwatson3313 depends on schools and experience and collegues. Can't compare people's circumstances to timing

[@glennwatson3313]

@@nuhabashir1672 I have no idea what that means.

[@nuhabashir1672]

@glennwatson3313 it means that depending on your school, you will determine when you can leave in the year. If it really is unbearable, then u have to leave mid year.
