I want to quit teaching in May
Heyyyy I’ve hit a wall. Low pay, a 50-minute commute, and a chaotic classroom have completely drained me. The morning dread is causing actual heart and stomach pain, and I can't sleep.
I haven't turned in my notice yet, but my plan was to resign next week and set my final day for June 5th (after prepping exams for the sub). But today, they just asked me to host a spelling bee competition. I physically and mentally cannot do it. I feel so tired and guilty.
I have a financial safety net from my parents, so I don't need this paycheck. Honestly, is it okay if I just submit my notice next week and leave immediately in May instead of waiting until June 5th? Or should I just say no to the event and push through?
