As a first year 8th grade teacher, it is ROUGH. I’m having such a hard time finding the joy in teaching. I’m just trying to get through each day and hoping it will be better next year 🤞🏻
I'm 7th grade middle school and this is my second year. I've cried more this year than last getting my masters degree while teaching my first year last year
I am a first year teacher, 3rd grade at a title one school, and this is hard. I have seriously second guessed my career so much it has me concerned on if this is what I should be doing. I knew my first year was going to be tough but this is a lot harder than I thought. It is also hard for me to figure out what’s “normal” for a first year and what’s not supposed to be happening, since I’ve never experienced a year a teaching. I have been watching your videos for a long time now, and hearing you say that teaching has been tough for you gives me a sense of ease. I am just struggling so hard and feel like I am alone, even though in my head I know im not. So thank you so so so so much for sharing ❤️
I can't wait to see the 5 am morning routine! You're so inspirational! I've always lived in Miami (Kendall area), and I am so excited to start student teaching next semester! I'm graduating with a BA in Mathematics w/ a major in Math Education next semester. It would have taken me a full 6 years by the time I graduate but i'm so proud because I didn't think i'd make it through. You kept me going because when i'd watch your videos you'd help me picture myself in my own classroom for the first time about to teach my own students. I am so excited that i'm less than a year away from that feeling! I recently passed my last teaching cert. exam (SAE Math 6-12) and it just all became so surreal. I hope that I can apply some of your teaching philosophies into my future math classroom next year! Take care Brit! All of your fans love you dearly. 💙
Congrats on 250k! And, I'm so proud of you for speaking about your experiences as a teacher whether here or the high school you teach. Current & future teachers can do so much more and bring it to this world! Also, the glasses look so pretty on you! ❤️ That's why I'm planning to be a English teacher just like you! 🙂
Omg, clicked so fast you don’t even know! Literally love any and every video you upload, they bring me so much cheer, and inspiration, and ambition 🤍 Happy Holidays Britt! 🧡✨
I really like your videos -they always inspire me!😍 I would love a video were you compare the struggles from your first year of teaching/new teacher vs now/ how you developed:) I am beginning my teaching journey in germay (my first year after university) and would appreciate your perspective 😊
I’m just starting being an after school program teacher for 7th grade and I’m having a difficult time during HW time. Any pointers or tips on behavior or classroom management? I know teachers would help!
After teaching high school for 9 years, I only lasted in middle school for a semester. Then I had to move back to high school. Middle school teachers need higher pay because it is the hardest of all grades to teach.
Brittany, I appreciate your positivity and how passionate you are. But, girl, are we teaching in the same country ?! Because how?! This is my 5th year teaching and I am sooo burnt out. I do not feel I teach. I was just like you when I started and I truly love teaching, but the kids do not want to learn. Their apathy, the daily disregard, disrespect, tardiness , fights, social media drama, lack of participation, lack of motivation, on top of stealing , destroying, breaking, etc . How do you stay positive ? I love teaching and had a similar mind when I first started. I viewed teaching as a magical thing and believed if I build rapport with my students, things will be okay. I know things will not be perfect. But not all students want to be build rapport with you. I am myself, silly and playful and get judged by some students. I build rapport with many of my students and try to be understanding, just to have them take advantage of me, view me as a friend and want to skip class just to hang out in my classroom and try to talk smack about other teachers. Of course, I can't accept this. It got to the point that I even got in trouble with other teachers because I was trying to help my students , but the kids like to create drama with everybody. I created a calm corner , bought fidgets, created an "affirmation station" but my students didn't want to say the affirmations. They have no interest whatsoever. Some even stole and broke my fidgets. This has happened every year since I started because just like you, I want to be positive and view teaching as magical. But girlie, it is so hard when students are vulgar. It is challenging when the kids refuse to do the work. It is difficult when they do not participate , but when it comes to their little fights and who they "gonna drag " they are perfectly fine communicating. I am not teaching at this point. I feel I am not. I am burnt out. I accepted a new position and hope things will be better. I hate this person I've become because I'm so happy and playful , but how?! How can I with these kids ? I feel I'm like a candle and these kids wash my light away. Any suggestions for staying happy and calm regardless of the students we face ? 😢

Can you tell me what makes it tougher? because I'm thinking of joining the profession

Hearing your voice and watching your videos make me feel so much better as I go through being a pre-service teacher. Thank you for being you.

As a second year middle school teacher I totally can relate
I’m just starting being an after school program teacher for 7th grade and I’m having a difficult time during HW time. Any pointers or tips on behavior or classroom management? I know teachers would help!

I am happy you found a game level you love!
