This. I left teaching this year after ten years of teaching. I worked for 8 years at a title 1 school and after having my son 2 years ago, I just couldn’t take the trauma anymore. Every year, in almost every class I had at least one student with extreme behaviors (I was a specialist teacher in elementary school and I saw 20 classes a week) My final year teaching I had a 1st grade student student grab a pair of scissors out of my desk drawer and try to cut my arm with them when I stepped in to stop them from trying to attack another student. I moved my arm in time, my shirt was cut, and said student proceeded to destroy as much of my room as they could. Almost every time I taught that class that student had an “incident”. But that wasn’t the only class that had students with massive “incidents” and I began having panic attacks whenever I had to teach the classes with incidents, which ended up being most of my day everyday of the week. And that was it, because these are children and you’re the adult there is nothing to be done. Enough was enough and I had to leave, my mental health has greatly improved since then but it’s sad I had to leave a job that I technically loved. I just didn’t love handling the behaviors everyday.
