Hello, I have been working as a susbstitute teacher for about 3 going on 4 years. I have a bachelors degree in psychology with a minor in sociology, a masters in educational leadership and a second masters in inspired teaching. I no longer have the same motivation to teach in the classroom. Are there are any other jobs still related to education, in which I could have an impact with the kids ?

Subbing can be rough on people, so one obvious suggestion would be to look into a permanent position. Or, with your background you may want to transition into a counseling role. Or something like curriculum development might be an option. Maybe just go back to basics and examine why you got into teaching in the first place, and follow whatever that inspiration may have been.

I agree that counseling seems like the best approach for you, I'm not sure but you might not have to get any additional schooling but just do some certifications with your credentials to work as a school counselor or see what it would take to become a LCSW at a child-focused therapy center

I’ve seen my best students make mince meat out of subs. It’s a sport for them. I subbed before I taught and I was jaded before I even got into the field. As a teacher, I get 1-2 parents per year try to get me fired, 1-2 students that try to take over the class, 1-2 sociopaths, 1-2 narcissists, 2 out of 3 assistant principals that slept through their graduate classes just to get a bump in pay, and 4 out 5 principals over 12 years that go through the motions and have learned how to look like they care when they don’t. I have a record of 5/400 write ups that resulted in consequences for student behavior. I had a department coordinator having a group conversation accidentally leave a recording on my voicemail and the discussion broke the law. I’ve had assistant principals call me up in the middle of the summer to change grades for athlete students. I’ve seen it all, but I focus on the students that I can help and that’s about 85% of them.

I go home everyday to my spouse that works at NASA on rockets.

Counseling is what immediately jumps out at me. You may have to get a masters and some clinical hours depending on the state. You could also look into different pullout programs. For example, our school has a career coordinator that organizes career fairs, college field trips, various presentations during school, etc. We also have different positions that handle first generation college-bound students, homeless students, migrant students, immigrant students, teenage mothers, food security, mental health, and a variety of other things.

I have realized I grew up in a household where my dad did not treat my mom as an equal. He belittles her, is rude and convinced his way is the only way.

It is painful to say, but some of this shows up in me and in my relationship. I am starting to catch myself, and it to me seems to be more of a reaction than anythjng that is ever intentional.

Wondering if anyone has dealt with something similar, and any success in making changes besides therapy. Cont. in comments

Been having trouble moving on since girlfriend ended relationship 3 weeks ago after 2+ years of dating. Before ending it she came over 3 weeks prior to basically give me a chance to work things out and we had a good discussion but then I went back into our routine and didn’t really fight for it or have serious follow up convos that we needed. Now I just have so many regrets that I let her go. I know we still love each other and left on “good” terms but can’t forgive myself for my lack of action.
