Why I quit teaching ... | Teacher Vlog

[@jc3teacher265]

After 23 years of teaching in the elementary grades, I think it is time to call it quits. Way to many changes since I first began, and unfortunately not for the better.

[@danzbutrfly]

too much paper work

[@mgthale]

It’s such a privilege being a teacher in Switzerland (or even Germany). Our teacher salary is so high that it’s very easy to only work part time and still be able to make enough money to make a good living. :) plus the kids are very well behaved and the schools have awesome equipment etc. Teacher paradise if you ask me!

[@JimInTally]

The right demographics is crucial to having a good teaching environment. On that score it would be very difficult to find a better environment than Switzerland.

[@EddieJazzFan]

Some of my friends in Austria have told me that a high school education in Europe is as good as a college education in the US. Do you think this is true?

[@priscillasmith1713]

Must be nice because it sucks to be a teacher in many American public schools!!!

[@danzbutrfly]

Wait till you start getting the ...ummm....err....colored people....then the shit will hit the fan....

[@brucewilliams4378]

LillyAnne T what significance does muslims being there make?

[@lisettegarcia3950]

Congratulations on your new journey!! Once we have been a teacher, we will always be a teacher!!! You now take your knowledge, experiences and talents to move forward through a different chapter...

[@StefaniFeole]

I haven’t been able to find another teacher who makes video! This is so awesome!

[@ashleym9305]

Kayse, you have always been so inspirational to me. I posted previously that I quit teaching when my contract finished in June after 11 years to be with my boys (ages 22 mos and 3 years). I am teaching fitness at night still 7 months post teaching and it is like I’m seeing the world in a whole different way because I’m actually getting to have a life again. I took my boys to the zoo today in the 68 degree weather and I was like I wouldn’t be able to do this if I had my classroom. Remember that you are always a teacher-don’t ever let anyone question that-some people have that gift and it just translates to all aspects of life. I don’t have a classroom anymore either, but I do have an open space in a gym ;) and you have an office ;) I wish you well on your new journey, U.G.G-you go girl!!!

[@yaelrar.4460]

Quitting and retiring are two different things. Its also very different if you're a married teacher compared to being a single teacher.

[@jc3teacher265]

Being a teacher is so time consuming. Leaves little time for anything else. Good luck on your new journey!

[@jc3teacher265]

Kayse Morris - Teaching on Less My pleasure!

[@ozzyfur8307]

This is so true. If you want to become a teacher, forget about having a life. I have found that I can work till midnight overnight and still not have everything completed!

[@danzbutrfly]

@@RIsforreginia worst job if u ask me....

[@christinec112]

I swear by your ELA interactive notebook. It’s my second year using the product and it was money well spent. We work on one strategy each week and the kids really enjoy it (I teach 4th grade). Keep producing your excellent materials!

[@FaithJourney989]

LOL So glad I came across your channel! I'm a teacher as well (16th year) so I COMPLETELY understand why you're so excited about actually having the TIME to do other things... I so get it!!! Love your enthusiasm and can't wait to go along on your journey with you. I'll be starting my own leaving-the-classroom journey within the next year or two, so you're breaking ground and showing others of us who want to move into the next phase of our teacher walk how things can go. Thanks for being brave and stepping out on faith. Love it!!!

[@emilyguinn8025]

Your choice of language doesn’t bother/offend me. You are more than just your “teacher” title. 😊 Crockpot meals!!! Yes!!!! I would love to hear your recipes.

[@melaniewiser6149]

Her pot roast recipe is awesome! It's so simple, yet tastes sooooo good.

[@thetherapymama6404]

So glad you are able to pursue your other dreams as well. I'm not practicing Speech-Language Pathology anymore either, but I love using my skills to create products and homeschool my girls. I look forward to following your new journey!

[@PlowAndPantryHomestead]

Woot woot! I can't wait to go along for this journey!

[@briannaparham7910]

I think since this is your first time not teaching in years, try whatever you want to try on your KZbin and then see how your viewers respond to them. See what you enjoy to film, etc.Cook on here, doing your makeup, vlog, book club...whatever girl. Go for it. You got it!

[@gillb6366]

Not offended by swearing at all. In my house we swear in three languages- English, Chinese and my husband's local dialect. You should hear my hubby when he drives! No idea where he learned all those bad words in English....... Whoops. Anyway, I'm very seriously considering moving away from teaching this year. I've been thinking of becoming a TpT seller. I know I have a great idea... I've just been putting off starting.

[@LearningSciencewithMichelle]

I am excited to follow you on your new journey! I pray God opens many doors of opportunities for you.❤️

[@teachingremedy]

You are living the dream! So awesome!!! Enjoy every moment! ❤️

[@meghanweibley2261]

Thank you for sharing your journey! I am 4th year teacher and have been following you for the past two years. I'm happy that you are able to do what you love! You are very inspirational!! I hope this year is great for you!

[@johnpalmer9179]

,you talk too much, nothing productive.

[@theemilyd896]

You do you boo! Say whatever you want. If anything, I think it makes you more authentic!! You are fabulous! XOXO from Texas 😘

[@mlmj1994]

Congratulations! I am glad you found a way to make resources full time! So cool that you found an office space.

[@Teach75]

Yes! More recipes please! I work 30 minutes from my house and with three kids at the same school in activities, we don't get home until late most nights and we often spend 12 hours at school (or more!)

[@rsharp7651]

I’m looking for fun resources on interactive planners for high school chemistry for new teachers. My kids are going off to college and I am re-entering the workforce and want to have a class that brings joy and energy to me and the students.

[@lateforthebelle5749]

Swear I’ve always been creative minded & feel like this is what I would LOVE to do! 😍 Lesson planning HERE I COME! 🤪✏️📚

[@belenv.5205]

I am so sad... Yesterday, I purchase the math kindergarten unit 2 and 3. I didn't know there was a kindergarten math curriculum bundle. I am so excited for you and wish you the best!!

[@shool4school729]

Congratulations! I'm excited for you. I absolutely LOVE being a teacher and I can see your passion too. But I don't know how you were balancing TPT, teaching full time, and being a mom and wife. I'm exhausted thinking about it!

[@rosainostrosa1838]

I rather not hear any offensive words. You have a great personality. I would love to continue watching your videos. Thanks.😊

[@Coffeeandkiddos]

I am a sahm of 5 kids after teaching special Ed at s private school for 11 years. I really have no idea what I will be doing with teaching when all my kids are in school. I feel so out of touch with education at the moment other than I am a parent of elementary age kids, and special Ed wise I have a son in kindergarten who is currently going through testing. I am now on the other end. I wish I knew what to do next. BTW at the time I left my last job I was burnt out, and had a bad taste in my mouth over my experience. I will definitely keep listening.

[@kimdobiasidaho]

I am so excited for your new journey!

[@myaussieteacherlife3708]

What a great move for you. Still in education but free to work for yourself, your very brave as I don't think I could do it, but a fantastic move. I'm eager to follow your new life, well done!

[@shanishag]

Thank you so much for your dedication. I want to start making teacher videos. I teach preschool. Also thank you for the school materials helps make my planning easier. Thank you !

[@torakwue]

I have been teaching for 16 years...I wish I had the courage to do what you've done. I want to do it but don't know what I would do afterward..I have 3 kids and want to spend more time with them but husbae just started a new job only 2 years ago. I am losing my excitement for teaching...I want to live in my purpose..trying to figure it out..I would love to hear your thoughts

[@JA-pu4zv]

I am with you. I'm burntout and ready to leave the classroom after 10 years but I can't afford to since I work in a very high-paying school district. I'm always jealous/inspired to see people who are happy and following their dreams.

[@mowbry2809]

I have been teaching since I was 21 and I am 52 with two grown up sons. I love my job and still do but it is literally killing me now. Why, because students IQ is lower now than when I first started teaching, which increases the workload. Students are more entilted now and are being treated like consumers. Teachers are second class citizens. Your priority is not others peoples kids but your own. Give your job up, cut your cloth to suit your needs and have a happy, stable family married life. No one says on their death bed "They wished they worked harder"". Good luck and a happy peaceful life

[@henryprokop9170]

What I need is Social Studies Activities for grade 4; Writing using picture books. I love your videos and was so happy to see that you just did one. Can't wait to see more

[@SchoolHouseRap]

Wow! How exciting!! I'm disappointed that you won't be in Nashville at the TYHO conference. Looking forward to more content as you start down your new path. Congrats!!

[@Meg_Slope]

I also watch Thomas Rhett and Lauren when I am bored! They are just amazing people!!

[@TeacherTales]

Pls do recipe videos!!! I’d love to watch them. Congratulations on your new journey :) super excited to see where this will take you!

[@AnchoredHousehold]

Language doesn't really offend me, but I try not to watch channels that I'm always nervous about what's going to be said when I have all my littles in the same room with me!

[@TopTeachingTasks]

Exciiiiiiting! Looking forward to many more videos. And heck yes, you are a teacher!

[@tracy_in_primary]

We've been listening to the soundtrack from "The Greatest Showman". I am completely and totally obsessed!

[@sarachilds-theonlyschoolin3438]

I so wish you lived in Kansas, I envy your drive and energy! Do you have any book/podcast suggestions for finding your passion? I’m a substitute teacher (I can’t be regular teacher for health reasons) and feel a bit stuck.

[@spectacularrichbeautybrilli]

WAIT, /why did you quit teaching?? You never one mentioned this.

[@danzbutrfly]

too much paper work too much overtime till midnight without pay.....never finishing the work because there is always more to do....spending your own money to buy stuff.....basicallly it takes all your life and consumes you and stresses you out....worst job....

[@JMitch-rr5kh]

I am a special education para and am very soon to be an elementary school teacher with a sped endorsement as well. I am getting ready to take my PRAXIS here in the next couple of weeks and I would love to know if you have any advice for brand new baby teachers? Congratulations to you on living your dreams!

[@kaseyedwards7866]

Jillian Mitchell I’m a first year teacher with a sped endorsement as well! The best advice I can give is just go in and be completely open to advice and help from veteran teachers. I was so hard on myself the first few months because I didn’t know EVERYTHING other teachers knew but I wasn’t SUPPOSED to know because I’m new! Relax and ride the crazy wave that is your first year!

[@JMitch-rr5kh]

That is great advice! I really am the kind of person who wants to be good at things right off that bat.

[@Niamirismom]

Jillian Mitchell I am 12 years into special education and I feel brand new every year! We keep changing, education keeps changing. Just be confident in yourself and know your purpose!😘

[@nwilliams-rq8eq]

have fun with that crap

[@thomasperez3201]

Jillian Mitchell. make sure you know terms and procedures associated with sped. for example : manifestation and how you get to that step; making and implementing a BIP; what are the steps for a child to be referred to sped; triennial meetings and your responsibilities during these meetings; educational reports and how to properly fill them out. make sure you document your student's progress on their iep goals. grab a folder and put everything they do relating to their goals in that folder. start working on the student's iep 3-4 weeks before it's due and schedule the meeting with parents/guardians around the same time. you want as much time as possible to prepare it properly and allow for scheduling conflicts. if you've never conducted or been in a sped meeting, ask a sped teacher or the director of sped services to SHOW you, not tell you how it's done. have them show you how to schedule the meeting and inviting all the people that need to be there. if you have to find coverage for the gen ed teacher, have them show you how to go about it. my apologies for droning on but i just want to make sure you're informed. it really stinks having to figure things out on your own when you're the newbie. all the best!

[@meghannewman5021]

Congrats on your new journey, you seem so happy!! That’s awesome! Your language def does not offend me at all Girl ;) I would LOVE to hear/see your recipes 😍🤗 love the crock pot, I don’t have an instant pot either!

[@leerylifeform]

Good for you!

[@amandatrost8104]

Ok I absolutely love you!!!!! Your personality is awesome and I bet you were am AMAZING teacher!! I would love to be trained by you! Have you started a recipe blog? I haven't been a big cook but I met my fiance and have a beautiful bonus daughter and cooking has been a big goal for me to improve in because I do believe that it is important! I'm a teacher and coach and I tend to not make that time every night for us and I would love to change that and would love some great recipe ideas 😁
