I am officially hating my job right now. I am one burnt out teacher and I'm getting to the point where I don't care. And when I don't care, something serious needs to happen. I don't know if it is the school or what, but I need a change.
My theory? It's the late spring break this year. I'm sorry, but teaching requires a LOT of patience, and going this long without a break from all the human interaction is KILLING ME.
I'd even be happy to come in and do paperwork all day - for more hours than a regular teaching day - if I could just get a break from all the CONSTANT neediness of the kids. Who I LOVE, for sure, but they're just wearing on me. Plus, I'm doing these two tutoring programs at once, which is rapidly leading me to burn-out.
I say this every year, but next year, when my car is paid off, I'm cutting one of my after-school responsibilities.

I am so with you. See my last blog post.
