[quote=Anonymous]Teaching is one of those professions that doesn't lend itself to an easy career change if one realizes it isn't for them. It doesn't help that school districts are essentially one gigantic company, so if you quit mid-year because the school or grade you're teaching isn't a good fit, then your chances of finding another job in the same area is slim to none. Also, very few "good" schools hire throughout the year, so the only alternative to a bad fit is another bad fit. A lot of teachers end up using their leave as mental health days in hopes of making it through to the end of the year. The kids suffer as a result. Even though it's the right thing to do, it's unrealistic that a person with kids or financial obligations will just quit without something else lined up. [/quote]
