School's out for Summer!-AMA

[displacedinMN]

Update---This year is pure hell.

I have decided...I am out..I am looking for an end date in education after 27 years.

I have hired a career consultant to rewrite my resume and give me some training to get out of the classroom and teaching.

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.
