Little vent post!
I hate some of the kids I teach. Not a whole lot but just in the moment. I have never cried at work until my lead teacher was gone and I had to take care of them myself and it made me want to quit even MORE. And the fact that the dad of these specific twins is asking ME how to discipline makes me even more mad. Why should I know how to discipline your OWN CHILDREN more than you??? It frustrates me so much, but I’m looking got another job in January.

You’ve inherited all the clean up of behavioral problems and undiagnosed developmental delays that came from social isolation during COVID. This is a slow-burning national emergency and I’m really not sure what the end game will be without intervention.

I can’t say I blame you for wanting to flee. I’m always sorry to see people go. I know you probably took the job because you liked kids and wanted to nurture them, so there’s also mourning the death of a dream.

Oh the children- we are all supposed to like kids - why as adults you should live by okay to see from a long distance-!as you flee

Be nice to the kids in front of the parents or other adults - once parents leave put on the noise canceling headphones and ignore them - leave them to their own devices

Parents can be very stupid. They will only know how to raise children, not students. Find something else to do so that you can quit. Most other professions pay better. Or you can stay. In corporate the problem is always you. In teaching the problem is always them. Take your pick.

Salam. 23M here - all my life I’ve had my back on our faith - never really prayed but had imaan (I guess). After bouts of depression from girl problems (🙄), issues within immediate family, being disappointed expectations I had for myself, etc. I’ve been working on bettering my situation over the years. Faith is the only area where I think I need more guidance. Having trouble relating to friends or family about this. Anyone else been thru something similar? How have you connected back to Islam?
