Why Teachers Quit (Part 1)

Buckle up for this wild ride!

[MultiDarkAngel]

I had one student throw a chair at me. The admin never ever come to my aid. After I clocked out, the admin told me the student will continue to be in my class with no punishment. I told him to get a sub bc I'm not coming back

This is why I've been sitting on my porch, doing nothing but enjoying the fresh air, since June 27.

My nephew started his 1st yr as a teacher od middle school. A kid threw a chair at him so he reported it. The school did nothing, so he quit. Can't blame any of the teachers for quitting . Parents teach you child respect & get in that class & help those teachers

[barbarajohnson]

Teachers are quitting because Administrators are not administrating and parents are not

I was once written up for not being able to be in 2 buildings across town from each other basically at the same time. I refused to sign it and started looking for a new job that day. I've never been back. That's been 11ish years ago.
I now stay home and homeschool my own kid.

I taught for many years. I have been hit, kicked, bitten, spit on, and had things (including chairs) thrown at me. I had to quit for the sake of my health. The stress was literally killing me.

No teacher show ever feel unsafe in their work environment. Parents NEED to teach their children not to assault their teachers . Thank you for your videos

PRAYERS going out to ALL teachers.🙏🙏🙏🙏. My kids are all grown now but I always showed their teachers how much they were appreciated and loved. ❤❤❤

The school district i was in when I was in middle school somehow kept law and order and set the students straight in Upstate NY. Though kinda harsh and strict yet somehow they managed to do so. You do that anywhere else in America and everyone will think it's child abuse.

I’ll start with I’m 70. I always wanted to be a teacher. Wasn’t from a family background who thought about continuing education. Fast forward from school in the late 1950’s through 1971. If I were graduating now, I’d never put myself in the position that teachers face on a daily basis; I’d be dead or in jail from killing somebody. Anyone in a service job today like teachers, police, firefighters etc. don’t get the support, respect, help or money they deserve. God bless you all!

I was told to expect to get assaulted when I worked in a behavior classroom. I resigned shortly after that.

The children of America are becoming more spoiled and entitled. At least 2-4 times a week watching the news, 11-20 year olds are being arrested for stealing from stores, assault, car jacking, and more. They are out of control and don’t care if they are caught because they feel they are above the law. Acting like they do in the classroom sadly is just the tip of the iceberg. Then no one is willing to help the teachers who are just trying to teach those kids. 😢

Certified School Nurse here. During COVID I was expected to just manage all the state’s quarantine and tracking policies, along with every other responsibility of my job. I got no additional support.

I communicated to admin that there literally aren’t enough resources to do both. They told me I’m stupid and lazy and to “just make it happen.”

I resigned the next day. Luckily the good thing about us CSN’s is that there’s so many extra of us! 🙃

Good luck America!

[amyliebert]

This is shameful. Other countries look at us like, how is that even possible?

[robinoakes]

You are so funny, but unfortunately all true! Retired, 2022! After 33 years!

[jedimasterspidermad]

I'm a Prek teacher and I have a bunch of stories as to why I want to quit my job.

[vvkingavv]

I work in childcare (before and afterschool program at a school but with a 3rd party). These stories, seeing the way the kids and teachers interact during breakfast and dismissal, and the things that I hear the teacher saying are the exact reason I've declined all requests to join for subbing and TAing, and why despite it being my childhood dream, not wanting to be an actual teacher.

[oh]

I am so lucky my admin are amazing. They actually stick up for us teachers. They the MVP

My daughter was a sub teacher at a high school. She was 25 and pretty. The boys kept trying to pick up on her. She quit.

Thank you for all you do with the kids of our great nation.
