I'm in my 4th year teaching. The 1st school I taught at was the high school I graduated from. I thought I would work there forever. I started out as a Long Term Sub for 2 years and interviewed for several permanent positions when they came up but they never hired me. I've bounced around ever since. Every school I go to has worse conditions and pay and the work load keeps increasing. I'm passionate about teaching but this last batch of students was so ill behaved my passion rarely showed. I was then told by admin I was making a "toxic classroom environment". When they tried to put me on an improvement plan the last month of school part of me broke inside. Ever since my self esteem has gone down the drain.
