Is it bad that I’m already thinking about wanting to quit teaching and I’ve only been in school for 2 weeks…….
I’m a first year teacher and I’m already going through it I live in the state of Texas so already that is stressful enough because the curriculum is changing along with a lot of different things that are happening at the district that I work for. It’s starting to feel overwhelming to the point where I feel like this is not what I signed up to do or I had some sort of illusion, thinking that being a teacher was going to be one of the most amazing things in the world. Another fact that is currently happening is that I’m having so many issues with the students in my class to a point where I can’t even teach properly so overall it’s just feeling overwhelming right now. Don’t get me wrong I really do wanna stay in education and work within education for the rest of my life but just being a classroom teacher I don’t think it’s cutting it for me 🥲 So any advice as to how I can have a smooth transition from working in elementary education or has anyone dealt with this before?
