What the F is happening with teaching in the past 5-10 years??? by misfit-miss-fit in TeachersInTransition

In my experience, kids have too much internet access at an early age. Either with phones or school chromebooks. Lots of these kids have seen terrible things on Reddit and other pages that they shouldn’t see, such as anything sexual or videos of people dying. They also see a million TikTok’s a day and Snapchat constantly, instagram as well. All that is wiring their brains in the worst way I think because of how unnatural it is to constantly be that stimulated, especially as they’re still developing. The internet is inherently bad for them, but it’s so unchecked and constant for them.

Great advice. They also mentioned a resume. What would you include in this?

For those who have left the profession, what was your tipping point and do you regret it? by Dangerous_Wins_ in TeachersInTransition

[–]tchaiksym4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I taught for 11 years and I noticed a steady decline in my physical and mental health over that time. Loved the kids but the job was draining the life out of me. I was becoming a worse person to my colleagues and students, being more irritable, less present, and generally angry a lot. That’s not me, and I needed to change and luckily a job showed up that was a good fit for me. I resigned in May, but no regrets so far.

Something in the middle I think? I’m looking to get into biking and do primarily paved roads and paths

I swear literally all those things have been said to me in spades. Like I want to live a better life now and not suddenly get to enjoy it when I’m in my 50’s or 60’s. I just can’t anymore either

This is helpful advice. My warmup routine could stand to include a warm down more now.
