I'm so tired of school in the why-the-heck-do-I-keep-doing-this-to-myself way. Honestly. I've put eight years and more money than I want to think about into this career, and now between the government, the taxpayers' and the parents' belittling, I'm starting to question why. It's just that it all seems so futile, you know? I feel like every year we're teaching students as a society to be less and less accountable and responsible, and it makes me sick to think that I could be part of this problem. When did it become a question of do I want to keep my job or do I want to do a morally sound job of teaching?
Like the title says, I'm just fed up, and right now I can completely understand why the majority of new teachers leave the profession by their third year. Truly, you have to be crazy to stay.
Just once, I'd like to feel some locus of control at my job.
