I left my calling as a teacher in 2016. Kidney disease was my exit strategy. This is telling about how awful teaching became in my 25 years in the profession. I prefer dialysis three times a week to the top-down administrative business model! I was an awesome teacher but I was always In trouble" because I cared about my students! I really resent the way the business model destroyed my profession!
I left 2 years ago and it was extremely hard, but needed. I am now in healthcare and I'm happier every single day than when I taught.
I also had panic attacks going into work as a teacher. I am so glad I left. Funny part is my job now is “supposed” to be a way more stressful job. But man I’d take it any day. Also I would still have nightmares about teaching.
its not easy to share these stories and i very much appreciate this. also it inspires braveness to fight tough times. thanks nessa
Thank you, you're so sweet. I was really nervous to post this so thank you for that 😊
Good your looking after youe mental health Nessa.
I've been watching all your previous adventures and content, and look forward to more with you and beautiful Sophie.
Hi Nessa, thank you for sharing your story with us. A similar thing happened to me as well. Back in 2021, I joined this research firm and it was going well for a while until it stopped being the kind of environment I wanted to be in. I started having panic attacks like you and broke down crying at my workplace. I finally put my foot down last year in April and decided to quit the job. Thankfully, I got a next job within a couple of months. But yeah, you did the right thing quitting..mental health comes before anything else. I'm so happy that you're in a better space. I wish you all the best for job hunting. Keep us updated! 💜💜
Student behavior is often horrible cuz of the breakdown of the family. Many children are not civilized. They run the building as there are little to no consequences for inappropriate behavior. It's humiliating and degrading for teachers.
Thank you for sharing this with us. Stepping away from something that’s become toxic is actually a brave thing to do. When you’ve invested time, money and passion in one route starting on a new path can feel like failure but it sounds like you’ve given it your all. Just think how great your next venture will be now you’re free of a burden that was clearly dragging you down! I don’t normally comment online but this video really struck home as I quit teacher training in the UK after only a few months during which I found that (in my view) the pupils were merely a means to achieve government ratings and the levels of violence in the classroom. The only skill I emerged with is that I am fully trained in extensively debating the difference between hoop and stud earrings to petulant teenagers! All the best to you both!
I actually almost went to teach in the UK after graduating but something opened up here first, but it doesn't surprise me the similarities between the two. Thank you for your kind words of encouragement, I'm both nervous and excited to see what's next and if I never have to go back into another classroom again I'll definitely be a whole lot happier.
I'm glad you're stepping back and taking care of yourself! That can be really hard to do. I wish you all the best.
I totally understand and support your decision… quality of life is so important, you are smart to see it and do something about it!! BTW my Cavapoo is Sophie’s spitting image.
Supply teaching is the best job and the staff shows you more gratitude when you come to SAVE THE DAY than they do when you work DAY TO DAY!!
Great video! As a former teacher myself, I can totally relate to these mistakes. It's so important for educators transitioning into new careers to be aware of these pitfalls. Thanks for sharing!
YOU are a strong, beautiful, caring and talented woman! I’ve been there like you with more than one employer…until I couldn’t. I use to train tellers ages ago, and found that rewarding. I wanted to teach like you, but it’s very challenging as you expressed. You are so well spoken, calm, thoughtful and easy to relate too. My own dreams were never fulfilled. If I were you, I would look into owning your own business in delivering a subject matter that would be in high demand for corporations, small businesses or school districts. You would be great at being a motivational speaker for other teachers out there that are experiencing the same issues and concerns you have encountered. Well, I know you will land on your feet and find what makes you happy and spread that awareness and knowledge to others. Best wishes and warm regards 😊
I'm also in Canada and have seen some news recently about teachers being mistreated and abandoned by the school boards. I'm not sure if that applies to you, but our education systems definitely need a change because education should not be political. Hoping all the best for you and I'm curious what the job scam was, so would love a video on that.
My biggest thing waa lack of support on both sides ,from parents and thr school. Everything is always you fault . Teaching ruins good people. Simple . We come with so much energy and positivity and the one day u feeling down ,both sides attack u .
I am trying to be a visual artist because my teaching environment thwarted my creativity!
Love you nassa and sweet Sophie ❤I'm sorry what you went through me personally couldn't handle that . I'm praying for you friend the lord will help you and provide he loves you so much ! Love your channel sweetie ❤God bless !hugs 😊
It's harder than never to be a teacher nowadays. Everywhere! 🇧🇷
Good luck with your future endeavours!
I hated my teaching job so i went to a new district. I hate my new job more. I need 2.5 years until I can retire. I am thinking about asking for my old teaching job back at the end of the year because its closer to home and less paperwork.
Good for you Nessa for recognizing what you had to do to make your life better. That is how we grow and open ourselves to bigger and better things that life has to offer. You are so right…politics has gotten in the way of education .
I just KNOW that you will find a great job because of your
1.personality,
2..your education
3. your organizational skills,
and your very many other talents
I know someone like you will just keeps growing, developing and blossoming.
This entire world is totally messed up right now, but there are still very good things and great people out there who believe in old fashioned moral values and keeping our quality of life. I just know in my heart you will find that right employment match for your continued development with the next steps in your career. You have a God given gift that people cannot ever be taught ……and that is the gift of high moral standards, hard work ethics and just plain believing in doing the right thing! . Those characteristics are much more important than anything anyone could ever learn from a book. Nessa, you will go far in life. Any employer should be grateful to find someone like you to represent them. Wishing you all of the very best! You did the right thing as as they say….”when one door closes another one opens” keep that beautiful big smile of yours going…THAT !! is what is truly contagious.
👍🏻🙂❤🐶❤
Thank you for all your kind words! I hope that this door closing will open the possibility for new and better things, I gotta remember to be patient too 😊 Thanks for watching and let's see what happens next!
@Suzy Dolan: I second every thing you said in this comment!
@@NessaandSophie 🙂 Nessa is a rare Gem.
Ah. I am happy that you came to this realization early on for you. It's not for everybody, and we all deserve to feel joy and balance. Teaching is a definite calling and a life choice. Good luck on your journey...
I have heard that behavior /classroom management has gotten bad. My kids go to. A private school and I hear certain classes are bad. It scares me for the future. I hypothesize that kids are starving for human interaction but spend all their waking hours looking at screens.
Have you tried applying to positions in your industry through an employment agency? When I was applying for new jobs recently I found that super helpful because they basically do the search for you after you give them your résumé and tell them what you’re looking for. It took a little of the anxiety away as well since you can communicate any questions or concerns you have with potential employers without having to directly communicate with job interviewers! Hopefully that could be helpful for you so you don’t have to be the one sending multiple applications a day and you could spend a bit more time with Sophie 😊
I love teaching, but not being in the classroom. The anxiety I have felt is just too much. Professional development consists of classes called "Taming the Hulk" and "Motivating the Unmotivated Student," etc. It seems all we are learning about now is putting out fires and handling misbehavior. It's difficult to just teach because of behavior. It has depleted what I uses to love so much.
sohpie! omg how freaking cute!
I feel you.
It's upsetting and somewhat surprising to hear that many of the problems driving US teachers from the classroom are also driving Canadian teachers from the classroom.
As a sub, I never seem to experience these issues in the classroom related to behavior. Some classes are loud, but I have never been verbally abused, or even had any real issues. You would think they would be more unruly to me than they would their regular teacher.
Gorgeous woman. Hope God has a husband and children for her future
Were you going for a union position? I have friends on your side of the border who say teachers up there get paid MUCH better than down here in the US but only after years of struggling to get into the teachers union.
Best of luck to your new career!
The business model only care about DATA not the learners!
Hi, do you have a Lhasa A? If so, I do too!!🐶❤🐶
Oh no, where is Sophie
Just saw her; like a pile of fur huddling at the corner
Sophie's never too far away, unless someone's making noise in the kitchen.
So sorry to hear what you’re going through. You are my daughter you are my granddaughter I am retired from the school system as a school psychologist for 28 1/2 years. I so appreciated and loved it but that was three years with a supervisor who drove me up the wall, and I had all the attacks that you had and all the depression that you have had yes I’m glad I stuck it through because I have a very nice pension now and I hoped that I helped a few kids along the way you will find your way. Sending lots of love love and hugs Linda.
Just think of professions like nursing, where there is no pension at all and we save people’s lives while risking ours😳😳😳😳. This comment is strictly about pensions paid only to certain careers - definitely not right.
There was a great deal of politics and administrative brow-beating 50 years ago. Not a secret by any stretch. I am wondering if private school would be a better choice for some teachers.
I was watching for 2 minutes and I didn't even make it through the introduction :)
I know. I stuck with it but she talked a lot and says nothing
You don’t really seem to get to the point but my hunch is that you object to the over-riding crowd control imperative in public schooling which has been imposed by the common misperception that learning is somehow a group activity, which it most decidedly is not. So in effect, not only is all learning individual, but those who fail to learn for whatever reason need to be diverted to some alternate activity perhaps more therapeutic in nature. And then also, those kids who make it impossible for others to learn also need to be diverted into something along the lines of behavioral modification. And none of this has anything to do with imposing your will on large groups of kids. There are abundant cases where teachers who are adept at controlling kids are concomitantly and demonstrably actually teaching them virtually nothing. But as we used to say at the ghetto high school where I taught, the good teacher is the one whose class is making no noise as the idiotic principal walks by in the hallway on his way to go hand-cuff some truants who have cut out of class to wander the halls, perhaps in large groups devoted to mischief rather than learning. And never forget, your average student is on his way to becoming the typical boring adult with perhaps a sixth grade reading level, and IQ of 100 or dull normal, and a job which took them perhaps a week to learn and which doesn’t even pay enough to rent their own apartment.
U ever work for the post office good money 💰
How long were you a teacher? No job is easy but you need to find one that you enjoy. Finally, be thankful that you have supportive parents.
I've been a teacher for over six years now and it's cause of my supportive parents that I chose to quit so I'm definitely very grateful to them 😊
You look like a brunette version of Bunny
Do you want to go out on a date?
Why do you and other teachers feel you need to tell people why you left teaching? Just do it, and move on.
So little actual information, so much personal feeling. Maybe you ultimately said something meaningful about why you left teaching, but I could only wait around for so long listening to you say things had "changed" and that you were "unhappy" but never speaking any real and unvarnished truth.
All these video haves common elements. Students are out of control. What are the demographics of these out of control students.
Get out of the public schooling system
