Three weeks ago...I had it. I went to admin and told them things were so bad that my wife told me I could quit NOW. They asked what could I....I do to make a change and not quit...I said I was at the wall. I have no ideas and BEGGED for help. I cannot adapt to the SHIT I was experiencing and feeling and said that I questioned if I could continue in education with what I was seeing. 34 in a class and 10 second attention spans. No joke.
Broke down. Cried. Said I am 50. I cannot control a class anymore. My health is being jeopardized with what is happening. BP has increased 20 points in 2 months-I cannot leave the job at school and wake up at 1am with stress and thoughts about school.
Today I had to have admin take a class for me. Couldn't get 3 words out before I was interrupted.

Oh my goodness.
Do it.
And please know we thank you for not only the near three decades of teaching, but enduring as long as you could.
Not your fault. It's the parents and current culture.
Enjoy your wife and life. Jobs and money are nothing more than a means to an end.
You'll on your feet. Good people always do.
