If Where You Work Is A Broken Mess...Just Move On...

I can’t work another day with the person they hired as my direct supervisor (hired because she is married to the supervisor of my area, but with limited skill and no proof of her abilities).

We all know that life is not fair.

We already know this.

We know that people are not always hired because of their skills and abilities but because of who they are, who they know, or how they look.

Okay, it happens.

Now, we have to get over it.

WE have to move on.

We have to leave these supervisors, departments, companies, and organizations to their own devises…we need to

MOVE ON

Thank You For Being A Teacher

I have been a teacher for going on 10 years . I never have liked it.

I would love it if I were teaching PE, which was my major, but instead I am teaching Engineering, which I hate! I have a bachelor’s in physical education with minors in biology and health. I started off as a Jr High Science Teacher. Now I’m also teaching three High School engineering classes that I took two week trainings on (not enough).

The evaluation system and paperwork is getting worse. I am not a good teacher. I never have been good at getting up in front of people, especially to teach something I don’t really like. I am 33 years old and I hate teaching.

I like kids for the most part and am a caring person, but I am sick of having “homework”, lesson planning, grading, etc. Believe me, I know teaching has major benefits. That’s why I’ve stayed with it for so long. My unhappiness with my job and stress is affecting my life in a negative way. I just know I would be a better mom, friend, girlfriend, etc. if I didn’t have this job.
