Good for her! What other profession would we expect someone to stay if it made me that miserable. The biggest issue with teaching is that even if you know it’s a bad school/teacher fit, you are stuck for ten months. Even doctors can quit and apply somewhere else immediately. The best we can offer teachers is sub somewhere else the rest of the year. And some states blackball you for 12 months if you quit after July 1.
She won't return. I'm in year 22 and I don't think I'll make it through the semester.
Teaching is impossible these days.

True. Rocket science is pretty cut and dried in comparison.
So how old were you when you got your teacher certification and became the teacher of record? 15? 18? Or the ripe old age of 21? Or by "teach school" do you mean you were a CIT at Camp Castaway one summer?
I notice you used the past tense for your teaching experience. Good.
Don't feed the troll.

Read the thread about the teacher who tried teaching but quit. It's easy to understand.
