If you hate it now, get out. You should love it the first 15
years or so!! Kids are kids. They probably aren't taught the
way you would teach your children at home. They don't all
have parents that think they are wonderful. That's your job-
to give these babies a reason to work hard. They have to
know you love them and are there no matter what. Many of
their parents may not be. It's not fair to your class if you
don't like your job. Find something else to do. It doesn't
mean you are a bad person or that you have failed. It just
means teaching is not for you. Find something that will make
you happy to go to work.
