I am an elementary school teacher in the deep south. I teach in a miserable, oppressive inner-city school. Basically, I am in total hell! I don't know how much longer I can endure teaching. I am so stuck....I wanna cry! The only reason I am still teaching is because I have 3 young children; two of which attend a "good" school outside our own district. They are allowed to do so BECAUSE I am a teacher. I am really just allowing myself to be abused and tormented so that they will get a good education. Sad huh? I literally want to cry every morning when my alarm goes off and I have to force myself to get out of bed. When I get to school I feel like I am in prison. It is so bad I have to take anti-depressants and nerve pills just to get through the day. Some of the kids in my class are so vile that I could drop kick them into the next parish! They have severe behavioral problems and their parents(for lack of a better term) use the public school system as a free daycare center. The administration is terrible as well. What is it about zero people skills and public school administration? They have to be the most hateful, useless pieces of shit that I know. They find the most inconsequential bullshit to nit-pick about. HELP I AM DYING!!!!!
