1’m a 12th year teacher, who’s been in her current district 9 years. We had a change in administration, and since then it’s been very rough. I have anxiety, & am thinking of leaving teaching. Any help

Been there. If you can hang on long enough, administration tends to change after a few years.

Before you leave the profession, try looking at another school within the district. Sometimes a change in location is all you need. If you love teaching, keep teaching. Don't let a change in administration cause you to abandon what you love. You can do it. Give til the end of the year. If you are still having that anxiety in the end, use the summer to look. Teachers are overworked and under appreciated. Believe in yourself and good things will happen.

The administrative support had much to do with your ability to teach. I've had the worst in my past that made me want to quit teaching as well. I did leave that district and with my new administration, I love teaching more than I did previously.

I’m not even sure I would know what to do outside of teaching. However, after dealing with this new administrator my joy of teaching is going out the window working with them. It’s not the kids, it’s the pressure form administration. I’m also the primary parent to my 2 year old daughter and teach lessons after school twice a week.

I had my mid-year conference on Friday and was ambushed by the principal being in the room with the AP. I was essentially threatened that I wouldn't have a job next year if I didn't be their puppet.

Trigger: rare illness post birth

Just sharing that I was diagnosed with postpartum preeclampsia 3 days after giving birth despite not having risk factors or preeclampsia in my pregnancy. Sharing as I had absolutely no idea about this illness.

Main things to do are check your BP everyday at least the first ten days after you give birth, and go to hospital if it's very high (over 160/110). If you get severe headache or stomach ache then also be vigilant.

Happy to answer any questions!

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.

Tomorrow they are requiring masks again and I was almost in tears when I found out. We have been mask free (recommended) since June and I feel like we are being muzzled again. I am vaccinated, frustrated, and have been off of antidepressants since March. I don’t even want to go into work tomorrow. Anything is better than being virtual and I am trying to look at the bright side, but moving backward still burns. We have parent-teacher conferences coming up and I am hoping that it’s temporary.
