Why I Hate Teaching

Trisha Reloaded said:

I hate teaching because:

1) I hate waking up at the crack of dawn. And I hate watching my 7-year-old daughter wake up at such an inhumane hour just to go to school. I don’t care what problems the transport companies will face if we start school later, I don’t care if my ancestors had started school this early, I don’t care if Japan or Switzerland starts school at 7am, I just want our students and teachers to have a decent wake-up time. Is that too difficult to change?

Yes, teaching sucks. This is my 23rd year and I wish my life away until retirement. I remember feeling like many of you my first few years and can only say I wish I had gotten out then. The hell with money, go back to school, live with family. You'll be old and tired too soon. Run away fast. Staying in education has been the biggest mistake in my life.

I enjoy teaching BUT Just NOT HIGH SCHOOL. This will be my 2nd year as a HS teacher before then I was teaching elementary which I like much much better. I'm dreading it already about going back this needs to be my last year as a HS teacher. I promise myself that...
I just need to make the best of it this year... and pray alot..

I am - you. And you are right. It's a shame. I'm wishing my life away as well and have never been able to enjoy a family life, no hobbies, no anything because education takes all.

Thanks for the honesty, I see my life unraveling this way regarding teaching so I'm getting out after my 10th year. The economy sucks now but so be it. I'll be poor and happy rather than just making it and miserable.
