Why you need to leave TEACHING | Great Career Changes for Teachers

[@symbiotesam3562]

This is my fifth year as a teacher and I am thinking very hard about not renewing my contract for next year. I just can’t handle this profession anymore. I hate admin who have no idea what they are doing. I hate students who are so lazy they can’t be bothered to do anything. I hate the long hours I work grading stuff and giving feedback where students just don’t care. I hate always worrying about how I am getting such lazy ass students ready for state end of year exams. I hate spending long hours trying differentiate activities for students. I hate that 80% of my students can’t do anything that grade level appropriate. I hate having to go to endless meetings and professional development about how we as teachers need to differentiate more and be creative to engage students, when they are so lazy to do anything. I hate how so many students have lowest lost basic vocabulary. Fuck it, I’m just going to say it, our school systems need serious reform, and not just putting more emphasis on teachers and districts to help train them better, but bring back much higher standards on students across the board.

Woow, I think it is time to call it a day. I am of the mindset of making each day count. Being this frustrated in your profession is not worth it. I hope you find what you really love and are passionate about so it makes each day worth waking up for. If you love teaching, have you considered going to a high calibre school instead, I did that and it helped for a bit. Now I'm building a digital business which includes teaching and speaking,so I get to use the skills I have and love using.

TELL IT LIKE IT IS

[@REGGKED]

I am in the same boat! I am ready to quit NOW! I don’t mind going back to school but idk what to do! I love mathematics and am a super introvert! Any suggestions?

[@inthevault9603]

I’m sorry but You either need to except students are lazy and just don’t give a 💩 or you need to quit. ASAP.

[@MariaRodriguez-ws2gt]

My first year teaching and thanking about quitting already LOL I am a tired teacher and a very tired mom when I get home. I really hate being tired for my own kids. Great video thank you for sharing!!

[@VanessaSpeakss]

I think the first year is usually the hardest so I've it time if you can. Ultimately do what works best for you

[@sparkykitty6870]

Stay home with your kids. It's only 5 years and you can never go back. You can always go back to work.

[@opaque1231]

Im finishing my teacher training and it has killed me. Im so ill. I dont want to be a teacher its tooo much shit to do. I totally relate and agree with u xxxxx

[@savedbygrace5836]

this was me 3 years ago and I left.

[@teachermade766]

Teachers make the best entrepreneurs 😎 I still teach but have built other side incomes.

[@user-pi5xo4og9d]

I really really hope it's not an mlm.

[@CamirrasKitchen]

im thinking about eventually moving out of teaching. i currently teach middle school and its not bad actually. i love my kids, but i feel somewhat limited. i would love to expand in the area of cooking, which is the focus of my channel.

[@aliceoghana7666]

My dream too

[@danielleparsons6248]

Liked and subscribed. I’m a second year teacher and Now that I’ve been in the education system and know how it works- how broken it is… I have decided not to renew my contract and forfeit my scholarship. I was raised by a teacher. I heard all of her stories my entire life and yet for some reason I didn’t truly understand until I entered teaching as well.

[@kristenturner1222]

Hello! Liked and subscribed. I am a former high school math teacher going into the healthcare field. Everything you said spoke to me. It is hard to understand unless you have lived it. I so appreciate your positive attitude, which you simply exude! It can be hard to figure out alternatives that are not mainstream career paths, and I'm sure you have hustled and worked hard to get where you are. The road less travelled can be better many times, though. The work you are doing is surely helping people who want to be helped - which cannot always be said of traditional teaching. I hope I can put together a career that balances my family life and allows me to be a good mom and wife as you seem to be.

[@VanessaSpeakss]

Thank you for your kind words. There are a lot of alternatives out there cos we have soo many skills. I pray you find what fits best for you. I have started a community for women who want to make money but also be with their family from home @profitfromhomemums on Instagram. Follow if you get a chance.

[@shakeitoff1000]

Preach, girl! I've been teaching for six years and I'm done. Time to move on!

[@OmoladeOkaiyeto]

All great tips especially in this moment of time I think it’s imperative people understand their transferable skills

[@VanessaSpeakss]

For real. Transferable skills are vital to identify so you are not trapped in a box.

[@Talldoll1]

I'm in the US and what we do in front of the kids is the tip of the iceberg that you see from far away.

[@VanessaSpeakss]

Very true🤔

[@lydiagreat]

I’m currently a teacher. Just here for the info lol

[@jblank1862]

😆

[@thegreatgoddess9149]

Same here

[@OneAdam12Adam]

You're 100% correct about what teaching is now. Thanks for being real with the public!

[@myheart715]

This is almost cosmic that I came across your video. I'm currently young and single but I plan to be a mother and wife one day and I KNOW that I also do NOT want to be a parent and teacher at the same time.

[@fitislandgurl]

Almost 10 years and I am ready for a change. I am tired!

[@Shewib]

Read "Dumbing Us Down" and "Weapons of Mass Instruction" by John Taylor Gatto to learn why schooling and teaching are so terrible.

[@VanessaSpeakss]

I will definitely check it out 😊

[@Firemanfh12351]

I just started teaching and I’m already reconsidering my career choice 😅

[@mumbigirls1382]

My second year teaching Physics and Chemistry in highschool and am done! Every part of my body is screaming for help 😩😩😩😩😩

[@VanessaSpeakss]

I know the struggles. I'm currently back in schools running workshops for different charities. I go in, I do my thing, I leave. Bye. Lool

[@missvixen45]

Ur vid is so true! Im a teacher and i find its all about the bottom line w the district. Ths is my first year and my last year!

[@VanessaSpeakss]

Do what you gotta do😊. It's not for everyone.

[@hayley1868]

Exactly.... The pressure of syllabus completion is just silly. In India the school year starts in April and we are supposed to complete the syllabus by December with every book having 20 chapters.... I am speaking for maths.... And we are also not supposed to give more homework to the students... Only 4 to 5 sums everyday. Also we are to make sure they are not being presuured in any way... Seriously.... I mean if the teachers are not allowed to do half the stuff then how the students are going to handle pressure when they are in the job area

[@irmarosario2341]

Thank you so much! I am currently reflecting on a career change and your video has motivated me to work on it.

[@VanessaSpeakss]

Wonderful!

[@InspirationalbyMarie]

These are such great tips xxx you are definitely a great speaker 💎

[@VanessaSpeakss]

Thank you😊

[@ShikokuFoodForest]

Hi Vanessa. I really like your energy and enthusiasm. I’m a teacher currently in Japan; however, I’m planning returning to Canada in the future. Thank you for so many great options to use our transferable skills.

[@VanessaSpeakss]

Your welcome. I now work as a workshop facilitator so I get to teach but not deal with the extras. Lool

[@shieldoffaith8798]

I feel extremely confused about what direction to go in....I've always had a passion for kids and teaching but my degree is in marketing and I never found a decent job with it. My heart in college always felt a calling to work with children in some way and in helping them but its been so overwhelming, as many of these jobs require masters degrees but still not enough job openings for where I live. I've thought about getting a certification in teaching and then always had an interest in being a Speech Path but don't want to go back to school if the jobs here are limited

[@XoeCox]

Lord, I’m so ready to leave. Of course it is not because of the kids. I’m 14”3 years in and I can’t anymore.

[@moviemode3781]

I'm ready to leave. I'm very tired.

[@cherylcrowder4950]

I have taught for over 15 years from preschool to adults, in regular schools to alternative or probation schools. I have my masters in educational psychology, but no license to be a psychologist. I'm done with the school politics and need a different career ASAP. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

[@heidi1000]

I never heard about a corporate trainer- and I was wondering if there was something just like that! I will have to look into it. Thank you! :)

[@VanessaSpeakss]

Yes, just Google corporate trainer and a lot of roles will come up depending on your location. They usually work for companies and train in house staff.

[@Taylorgang77]

Next year will be my fifth year and I need to find something else. I can’t do it anymore the money and the pay aren’t adding up. The admin, system, the kids, racism, favoritism, and so much more.

[@VanessaSpeakss]

Hey, do what works best for you😀

[@epefaniamurombedzi950]

It's been 9 years as a teacher and lm ready to quit..... salaries paid here are killing me emotionally 😢

[@Gencturk92]

[@queencoolgamer7670]

Excellent video Am a teacher thinking of leaving however don't know the way to go, wish am able to get intouch with you or someone that can support

[@hanikabotha9363]

Please make a video on creating a cv and cover letter to apply for jobs outside of teaching 🙏

[@VanessaSpeakss]

I will add this topic to content calendar

[@stephy_chanelofficial840]

Gal am with you now what can we do to other alternatives,dts where I am now

[@niageefi]

I'm an NQT and I do understand what you mean about the admin aspect of the job. Great suggestions of alternative career paths.

[@VanessaSpeakss]

Even though I left, I love the fact that I still got my teaching qualification and have teaching experience. It was all worth it.

[@byeteaching]

Teachers, interviews outside of education require more than just confidence-you need the right words. My tutorials guide you through the interview process with the vocabulary that employers expect

[@heyheyhey40]

I feel that 60% admin 😩

Wtf your alternative to teaching is more teaching jobs? lol

[@VanessaSpeakss]

Yes, use the skills you already have doing something different but you can re train and do whatever you like.
