This is the first year I’ve gone into a school year with a deep depression and I have to say it’s sucks! I am the worst teacher right now. I barely plan, I have less patience, and I really don’t care enough. I know what it feels like to teach well, but that’s just not where I am. I need to get out of the classroom for my students’ sakes!

Teaching Sucks
I am a teacher too and have experienced the “I don’t know how to teach when I feel like this” multiple times and all the thoughts that go with it.
I don’t really like talking about my work ‘publicly’ online but am happy to talk about it, if you want to. Feel free to send me a private message on here
Maybe a break is in order! For your sake ofcourse and like you say for the kids! Start some Therapy also, while you heal.
i was a 9th grade science teacher for 2 years. i couldn't hack it so i quit. i felt so relieved after telling the principal i was done. those 9th graders were awful!! ppl shouldn't blame the teachers when kids don't learn. those kids know what they are doing and make a conscious choice not to learn. they make a conscious choice to be bad.
