[quote=Anonymous]I left this year after decades of teaching many grades. I should have been able to work at least 6 more years, but I could not. The amount of testing and dealing with severe behavioral issues was just too much. Teachers are also held accountable for an amazing amount considering they have no control over the variables...poverty, gang affiliations, hunger, I Q, disabilities, lack of parent support, lack of viable families. I was also on my feet all day.....all day, with the exception of a meeting.  I was at work by 7:30 and I had to force myself out by 5, but there was still about 4 more hours  of work each night. Tons on the weekend. It has become the hardest job ever. Don't forget the emails at night in addition to grading and planning! 
It is 8 hours during the day, but 12 hours a day at least between work and home. You never are able to leave the building, you have to plan your bathroom break and hope you make it. Let's hope you are not ever sick or have a family emergency because you still have to plan differentiated lesson plans for all day classes..whether you are in the hospital or your parent is in hospice. And yet...people think you have the easy job.[/quote]
