-3. There is a lot I love about teaching, but I'm burnt out from dealing with admin, parents, and low pay. I feel full of anxiety which I've never experienced at the start of a school year before. Something tells me this might be my last year teaching.

I guess I'm about a 5 or a 6. I'm mostly looking forward to the year beginning, but I'm getting so tired of a lot of things adjacent to teaching. The actual teaching in the classroom is fine, but every year there's more invented controversy and culture war headaches to worry about.

-100. I left teaching. No more stupid “find your inner clown” ice-breaking crapola at faculty meetings or with students.

I’m retired now after 28 years in the classroom. My last five years I would rate it a 5 going back, but that had nothing to do with my students. The BS paperwork, IEP’s, GIEP’s, and 504’s, programs to complete for the district, parent requests, health issue from the kids, and a principal who was a dumb as a stump really crimped my attitude. Now that I’m retired, I realize that September is one of the most beautiful months of the year!!

Well, seeing as we are not allowed to give a score below 6, I would say that it is unscorable.

I'm disappointed to see so many here dissatisfied with their job. I LOVE my job! I am 70 years old and am not ready for retirement. My younger siblings are retired, and my husband is retiring in January, but I come to work because I enjoy it. It may be crazy, but I really feel that I am making a difference in children's lives. I just had a student tell me that he switched to our school as the teachers here actually are happy with their jobs. At his last school that apparently was not the case, and students like it when the teachers enjoy their jobs.

I’m at a 9. Nothing like the smell of fresh notebooks and overpriced coffee to make me feel like I’ve got my life together (at least for a week). That new school year energy just hits different.

I'm about a 7. I had a great summer and seeing it end is bittersweet, but I always miss the routine the school year brings. It feels good having things to do and a set schedule to adhere to again.

Hello US fish!
What advice would you give a London-based writer/CD/ECD looking to work (remotely) for US-based clients? I’m relocating to Costa Rica for a few months next year so trying to make the time difference work. I don’t mind what sectors but, ideally, short-term writing gigs. Any tips on approaching clients/agencies? Which recruiters are worth reaching out to or are they all in league with Satan? Should I just give up now and get a job counting turtles? Thx
