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.
