Post: teacher burn out
Posted by Kristen on 9/09/07
I am in the 4th week of my 3rd year of teaching special ed
resource middle school children. I am in a "good" school.
But for some reason, this time around, I really feel like
this is not the job for me. I just don't enjoy it. I don't
think I ever really did enjoy it. I envy people who love
their jobs. I think about switching grades, but it doesn't
interest me. I do enjoy working in a one-on-one (or two)
setting with teaching. My resource classes range from 10 to
15 students. These students are not very well behaved when
they get together. And my classroom management seems to be
minimal. And, come to think of it, I'd rather do all the
special ed paperwork instead of teaching (of course, I have
to do both). I have my undergrad degree in Learning
Disabilities and a Master's degree in Reading Education.
Does anyone have any suggestions for me career-wise? I want
this to be my last year teaching for the public school
district. I have no motivation or desire to go back to
teaching in a classroom setting.
