Teaching is breaking me.
Hello I’m admittedly needing to vent a little. Hopefully it doesn’t sound excessive or anything like that.
I’m a relatively new teacher and I’m feeling more burnout than usual. I love what teaching is supposed to be, but it’s changed to the point where what I do is vastly different than what I thought. I feel so sad because college me had so much joy and passion. It just feels like I’m failing at this despite trying so hard to be a good educator. Teaching has made me feel so disheartened and in general at a loss of what to do. Do I try and stay? Do I try and transition out? I guess I’m asking for other perspectives who know this field.
Thanks a lot!
