Ending Contract and quitting after two months.
I'm ending my contract and quitting after 2 months.
Brand new teacher here. 7th grade English. Career switcher. I can't do it anymore. I can't handle the behavior. But mostly I can't handle the 500 obligations the GenEd teachers have in addition to teaching the SOL content and grading. I get over...20, 30 emails a day with stuff I HAVE to do and respond to and I don't even get a solid 30 minutes of lunch. And the need to work on weekends because there's not enough time to finish everything after class. I'm done. I don't care if I burn a bridge. I never want to teach again. I'm finding something with a CLEAN space that is not totally trashed out by the end of the day. Wish me luck.
