Am I just having April blues or does anyone else feel like it’s going to be hard to return to teaching next year? I’m feeling severely burnt out, to the point of struggling to finish the year.

I was on a similar boat last year. Can you pinpoint a few things that's making you not want to return? Is it your current school? For me, I realized I was having a hard time balancing everything else in my life which made giving 100% at work difficult. Have started to incorporate more self-care practices into my routine like meditation and reading which has helped me relax. Remember to be kind to yourself too and don't be afraid to reach out for support especially from colleagues or family. Rooting for you OP!

You got this!!! Teaching is HARD but you can totally do it! If you can,take a personal day to do something just for you. You can't pour from an empty cup, so make sure you're taking care of yourself!

Here's a question, I see that you can apply to jobs with just your resume, and there isn't an opportunity to include a cover letter. This astounds me because that's really where a business can learn your values and what you can offer them. Does anyone recommend a way around this? I thought about uploading a two page resume with the cover letter included. It seems a loss not to include that edge.

I am a new teacher(15 years as a para) I just started this year in middle school. I have some really disrespectful and disruptive behaviors in two of my classes. Ignoring instructions, being loud and blurting out. Getting other students going. I am so sad for the ones that want to learn! I have called home and will again tomorrow. I just don’t know how to gain respect from these few students. Any feedback would be great.

I’m curious how many teachers give their students gifts for Christmas/winter break and/or end of the year and what types of gifts they give. I’ve done both in the past but finding it gets pricey. Looking for suggestions. Thanks!

I just recently resigned my teaching position for a position in another state to be closer to family. I will be making a lot less money (about 1/2 as much). Am I crazy to give up a high paying teaching position that took me 12 years to get to on the pay scale or is being closer to my family worth the pay cut? Anybody ever found themselves in a similar situation? I gave up tenure too. Honestly, I wasn’t happy living in my home town making the most money I've made. I guess it’s a leap of faith!
