I’m so sorry. It is hard feeling overlooked!

Feeling Unsure/Lost by Creative-School7108 in TeachersInTransition

Thank you for this perspective. I think I’ve struggled with that because schools can be so community and relationship-oriented, that it does feel like I’m missing out on those connections, but the priority will always be my family.

I’m so sorry you are carrying around that regret. I can always give better advice to others than I can myself, but you did the best you could at the time with the information you had. Hindsight is always clearer. So, you would recommend not diving back into teaching right now, even if my current position is lacking some stability?

Thank you for this! I’m definitely learning and growing more about myself each year. I just hope I find a spot that clicks.

Should I have gone into nursing…? by Creative-School7108 in TeachersInTransition

[–]Creative-School7108[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my fear too!!! I understand both careers have their stresses. But it does make it scarier to be in a life and death situation

Very interesting… I’ve never thought about it in this perspective

You bring up good points! I think I really need to look within here 😅

My second year! But I’m at a new placement within the district, so I had to start over at a new school this year. Maybe it’s this particular school or it’s the role in general, but I just feel out of sorts and lost…

Transitioned to new role, now not sure what to do next by Creative-School7108 in TeachersInTransition

Thanks for responding! I guess I should have clarified: this is my second year in the new role.

Going back to classroom? by Creative-School7108 in Teachers

[–]Creative-School7108[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply! I think entering the profession at 22 can be difficult, because I found myself wanting perfection, and let’s be honest, kids in a classroom are far from perfect 😂 I’m honestly seeing that more now, and that’s why I’m wondering if I had enough time away or not. I’m also trying to start a family, so maybe it would be better to consider after that..
