[quote=Anonymous]I love teaching.......I really do. 
But, things that are pushing me over the edge:
-The hours (there is enough discussion about this in another thread)
-Using up all my patience and energy to help other people's children. When I get home, I have little left for my own kids. 
-The stress-I work way more than I should, but it's never enough to really be fully prepared for every subject, differentiation, parent communication, entering data, trying to meet the individual needs of students and their families, etc. I'm constantly playing catch up or having to wing-it for one of my lessons.  Plus just the stress of the job itself--having to be "on" every minute.
-Unrealistic expectations (such as last week when we were told we should already have differentiation up and running in the second week of school. We're still trying to gather assessment data, establish routines, and get to know our students, so I'm not sure what kind of differentation our administration is hoping for.)[/quote]
