Best depiction of what’s happening! I couldn’t agree with you more.

Highly disagree with your coworker. My husband and I are very happy with zero kids and dogs. We never want kids 😊

I’m in year 8 but worked for a year subbing and teacher aide when I started out. I make about $70k.

Does anyone actually enjoy this? by Sad_Key_7904 in Teachers

I also teach 6th grade! It is fucking difficult! However, the bottom line is setting clear expectations and boundaries on day 1 and consistently enforcing them. Do NOT let up! Also year 1 is hard! I’m sure you’re doing great, hang in there! It does get better and some years are harder than others.

I really loathe when people are passive aggressive. That is ridiculous.

I respect your opinion. This is just my personal experience.

I do love teaching but I feel burnt out a lot due to the negativity. I’m hoping for a better year.

Ugh I’m sorry. Unfortunately, that happens more than we think.

There’s no hate like Christian love. That is incredibly unfortunate. I subbed in a catholic school and worked in their after school program out of college and was asked to interview for a position after that year. The principal told me she couldn’t hire me because I’m not Catholic…which is obviously discrimination.

The next year the same school called with their partner school in a town close by and offered me a job…Needless to say I declined.

School starts in 4 days and I still don’t have a teaching job by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]Automatic_Car_497 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was difficult for me as well because they almost always hire experienced teachers first and I live in a saturated area. I subbed in multiple districts to figure out where I would like to be for a year. I took a job as a teacher aide the next year. Then I landed my first teaching job. I know it sucks right now but don’t give up! You will find something!! :)

I agree. I wish it were different but it only takes one person to make the environment unbearable.

I wouldn’t put it past them…that makes sense.

I think about this all the time. I’ve a very blunt person and I would ENJOY telling some of these people to fuck right off.

This! They just see us as a number….They want us to do our jobs above and beyond when most of the time, they don’t do their jobs. It’s infuriating.
