[quote=Anonymous]It's rather ignorant to pin all the blame on first year teachers for quitting, the entire system is broken and to top it off we're living amidst a severe health and social crisis. Having no work-life balance, sh*t pay, poor work conditions, and no satisfaction or gratification with seemingly no light at the end of the tunnel is brutal. Nowadays every day of school reminds me of the daily chess matches that Kasparov played against Deep Blue in the late 90's. Man vs inhuman machine. Every day. Teachers have to have a paper trail for everything, they have to know how to act, what to say, when to say it, how to appease to everyone, just so that admin and parents don't stick a big red target on their back. I'm a first year teacher for all intents and purposes and since I can still live with my parents, i'll try to stick it out at least until my preliminary 5 year teaching credential runs out. I'll try to save as much money as possible, and hopefully if i'm still in this by year 5 i will either stay at a good school or change careers. Definitely won't be coming back to my current school next year, and I have more than enough reasons 2 months in.
