[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is teaching really that bad these days or is it just tough teaching in DC? I attended one of the worst high schools in the DC suburbs and I don't ever recall a teacher quitting during the school year. [/quote] I've been working for DCPS for more than 10 years, and every year we are asked to do more. I can only imagine what it's like for a new teacher to come on board and be faced with our to-do list. It must be overwhelming. I'm not sure how I've survived this long.[/quote] It's so disappointing to hear how much teachers dislike their jobs. How can parents help? [/quote] I don't dislike my job. I love teaching. It's just that the demands are increasing every year to the point that it is becoming unsustainable. It's unhealthy to work so many hours no matter how much you get paid. To be a good teacher, I also need to have a life outside of teaching. That is increasingly becoming impossible.[/quote]
