Why Quit Teaching?
Maybe you have progressed beyond the thought and you actually quit teaching. You went to school for years to be able to do the one thing you thought you would spend the rest of your life doing, and now you have found yourself without a job. Now is the time to make some important decisions regarding your future. Tomorrow will come and what will you do with yourself? It’s a good time to examine the reasons you quit teaching. What brought you to this decision? A lot of times educators lose focus because there are so many politics staring them in the face. Sometimes the cons outweigh the pros. One con is definitely the low pay. Putting up with those who control the way you choose to do your job is seldom easy and most teachers know they do not get paid enough to do that. But the real issue is if it’s the thing you love to do the most or not. If you love what you do, then lack of pay and questionable administration mean nothing in the face of knowing you are planting seeds into young lives.
