This is more of a vent. I think.
I just can’t do this anymore. Been teaching for 10 years. Been at my current eikawa for 3 years.
Pay is pretty good (4,6 before taxes) and boss is great… but I just can’t deal with the kids anymore.
I am so sick and tired of the retards not even being able to tell difference between can and can’t after 2 years.
I am sick and tired of the workload and the parents expecting you to work wonders whilst your kid don’t even do their homework.
I am so tired that I have started to not give a flying monkeys about anything. I used to be a good teacher. A damn good one at that. Parents used to fight to have their kids in My class but this last year… it has all faded away. I can tell that I just can’t do this anymore. I am done. I am exhausted, beat and worn down.
I feel bad for the kids because I just don’t care anymore, and they can tell.
I feel bad for my boss because I know she knows that I’m basically done but she wants
Me to stay. My bonus this year was way too much compared to previous years…
I feel bad but at the same time. I can’t ignore that my expiration date as a teacher has passed.
I have more classes than anyone else
At the school, I do curriculums, i create games adjusted to the different levels that we teach and I do all the boring office work things.
There is no challenge in this profession. Never have I felt that I need to use my brain. I need stimulation. I can feel myself getting dumber by the minute.
I don’t know what the hell to do. I would leave japan but atm I can’t. Got a girlfriend and other things going on
Thank you Reddit have a good night
Sincerely
Dead teacher
