[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, I’m a teacher and I think it’s a relatively low-stress job. Takes a few years to find your footing but if you’re at a good school with a strong union, the pay is usually good, and you get a LOT of time off. I teach secondary, core subject at a title 1 school.[/quote]

You are very fortunate. That’s not the case for many of us. I am also a secondary teacher. I have to actively plan ahead of time to take a Saturday off for family. There’s too much grading, too much planning, and too much mental stimulation. I’ve already cut every corner I can, and it’s still too much. [/quote]

Same. It’s bad. I too tech secondary, a core subject and at a title 1 school. It’s mentally draining. Just yesterday a student told me to suck his d!ck. Another student zoomed in and took a picture of my breast through my clothes. I had to watch a fight and not break it up (not allowed to), and a parent told me that their kid is my problem while in school. I am tired. I am sad. Every Teacher I know is medicated in some capacity.[/quote]

I’m sorry about your day, PP. I get it. I had a parent scream at me yesterday, accusing me of lying even though the proof was literally sitting on the table between us. That was a relatively light day, too, as far as stress goes. And yes, every teacher I know is medicated, too. It’s a sad state of affairs.

OP, I wish I had a suggestion for you. Maybe something adjacent to education? Any chance you can get one of those awesome office-based positions that doesn’t include the actual stress of teaching? An academic coach, etc? (I know it’s not the best suggestion. We’re all trying to land one of those, so competition is steep.)[/quote]
