[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Burnt out fourth year teacher here. I'll be following this thread. I've personally thought about trying to move into program management at a museum or children's program of some sort. Not sure. So tired [/quote] Consider a transfer. I was a burnt out teacher. I spent a decade in high poverty schools. I spent 10 hours a day in that building, 4 more at home each weekday night and hundreds of my own salary monthly trying to redress systemic gaps. It was never enough. That job stripped the meat from bones and came back to suck out the marrow. I transferred to a suburban, mostly high income school and my burnout vanished. Trust me, the kids still have academic and personal challenges, but the sheer number of drowning kids isn't overwhelming. I still seek out the FARMs students and the secretly poor ones. [/quote]
