Everything you say is spot on. I am so sorry that your colleagues did not support you. This is the ultimate betrayal. I made it for 30 years, but I had to retire a year or two early for mental health reasons. I had some good administrators, a strong union, good pay for the part of California where I live, and some wonderful parents and students over the years. I always tried to help any new teacher with lessons and emotional support. I think cell phones and social media has turned many students into sad, angry, ignorant, racist, and cruel beings who do not care about learning. I reverted back to my Army training and discipline to manage my classes, but it was no longer joyful or interesting. I hope you find happiness and belonging wherever you go Shani.

My mom taught 7th grade for 38 years and loved it. I agree with someone who wrote that it is a calling. Im glad you left because going to a job you hate every day is definitely bad for your health. I hope you found something you like better now .. 12:44 im not finished listening yet so you may get around to this topic. So sorry about your car accident...im guessing it probably happened because you were under duress

Speak the truth...they all in denial. And they all need help!!

Your hair is gorgeous😟 what’s wrong with people?

Same thing happened in my job in the military and you are still paid more.

I don’t blame them 😋

Mmm beautiful chocolate

So you're telling that most parents failed their children by raising them like dolls and not real human beings? I've noticed that a lot, too - sad surprise. Not a teacher, but I used to volunteer at kids camp/activities at church. Even there, some are not well-behaved. Very common. Parents thinks their kid is better that the other ; let them missbehave with a smile on their face ; do not take your advice seriously or take action if their kid did something really wrong. One day, a kid from church told me to my face "You should do exactly what we want because our parents pay you." Well, I'm not pay. Not even a dime. I'm helping for free this church. I didn't want to create any fuss as it wasn't my church, I was just helping for a turn-around... But these words revealed to me how much parents speak freely around their offsprings, and how entitled they think they are. Genuily afraid of this upcoming generation of adults... Social Media screwed up their brain. Sad to hear your testimony. Hope you get your spark back. Take care of yourself first and always.

Traditional school isn't for everybody, students or teachers.

I'm sorry but, did you make 2300 bi-weekly or in an entire month? Cause wow, that's crazy!!! I want to start my bachelors in Elementary Education and am still researching. I'm a waitress and that's what I make monthly without having to pay for a degree. This is not right.

I recently made a video about this too. People are bold and rude. Your hair is beautiful ❤

$2300 is excellent money for one check. IDK what your talking about. Times two is almost $5000 a month.

I wonder if it would be ok to be a professor or something

What's grad school I'm not from the US

Wishing you much peace and emotional/mental/physical restoration. Just keep going, your way.

I understand how you feel. There are many problems in the schools. The biggest problem I think is the behavior of the students and the fact that the administrators do nothing about it and do not support the teachers. It creates a lack of respect to the adults. Our students need to be prepared for the future not being coddled at school. Everything shifted to entertaining the students. The parents do not want to partner with the teachers because they are working and tired too. The schools depict what is happening in our society and it is not good at all. As a specialist in the schools I went to all grades and many classrooms and most of what I saw was not teaching. How can you teach when the students have cell phones and walk out of the class when they feel like it. Also we have many damaged students who are drug babies or other situations. They cannot manage in a typical classroom but we are expected to include them. It takes time away from teaching. Even the very young children have no readiness skills and severe behavior problems. There are constant interruptions as you say. I could go on and on....people just do not know. I wanted my friend to stop working but she had a soft spot for the special needs children as I do and went back after retiring. The school was happy to have her skills for 2 days and then she was injured by a student and after leaving the hospital she had to go to a rehab for several months. There is no control in the schools. city, country, rich, poor, it does not matter......You are correct, nobody wants to hear it. I feel sorry for the children who are being ignored. God bless you!

What a pretty kitty

glad you were able to get out, in our society people expect you to work yourself into the ground until you die

I thought it was common knowledge that teachers are underpaid and overworked. Why are people still entering this profession with their eyes closed? Anyone choosing to become a teacher should do so with the understanding of the challenging conditions this young lady describes. If one still chooses to become a teacher then do so with a pre-implemented strategy of how you will combat those challenges. You have to strategize and plan your life. Especially if you know ahead of time how teachers are treated.

I'm glad this video has been made and viewed. Students in the UK are this. Disrespectful, glued to the phone, go to principal offices and come to class and continue the work. A LOT of teachers are in denial about this. I feel like I am the only one stating the facts, the TRUTH about toxic positively.. NOT FIXING Problems.

7 years on youtube and I only discovered you about a month ago 😔 I need to step it up to find creators like you sooner!

These kids gotta get it together good grief!

Firstly, my pretty you are the cutest, you’re so pretty with your own hair, and your skin looks so soft. I’m also natural and it’s awesome unlimitedly because: - I see myself when I look in mirror when I’m natural - it’s a silent protest and a huge screw you to society to flex my natural hair - I will no longer contribute to the ever growing wealthy wig/weave industry that profits from blk women more than it’s a benefit to us. - I choose to - I love my hair Stay naturally pretty 🤎🤎

Thnx for sharing your story with us. I resonate with you on many issues. Be well and be blessed.

I know I’m late, but I truly admire your dedication into writing and choosing to post this. You’re so wonderful as a human being and I truly apologize for your loss. I hope this finds you well and this truly touched my heart to hear this. ❤

How was CA? I guess you could still be there, but I hope you weren’t out making that amount you mentioned in your video when you quite teaching. We love CA…visiting. We couldn’t afford to live there. We are actually going to LA for spring break this year.

Unity! Church hurt is definitely a thing

I’ve been binging a few of your videos and I am very excited to follow your journey. It’s so funny, I started my channel years ago as a result of “professional” loneliness. Happy to connect with more teachers or former who share a similar journey. New subbie!

I gave it all up almost 15 years ago. I eventually did start to miss teaching, but knew I didn’t want to go back. I ended up starting a micro-school 10 years ago. Best journey ever!!! I created a channel too where I talk a lot about it.

Hello! I pray that you are having a blessed day and wanted to encourage to seek Jesus Christ if you haven't already. He wants a personal relationship with you, as His precious child 🙏💗 God bless you!

Nice cats

Big ups to you for leaving a toxic environment.

I’m a student in high school right now, and I was planning on being a teacher. I have had a lot of concerns about going into the profession, and hearing your story and everyone’s story in the comments is very informative. I know as a student I don’t respect teachers because they are authority or adults or whatever, I respect them because they are people. It confuses me immensely how students can’t at least do the same. Proud of you for getting out :)

I’m making it to four. I’m waiting till the end of this school year.

Mamie Channel subscribed. I totally agree that teachers are not paid enough. Something must be done. Praying for change 🙏

Additionally, you really do look so much like him, especially in the photo of him you've used for your thumbnail.

So sorry for your loss. May your precious Dad continue to rest in peace. 🙏

Good for you. I really wish that as teachers who have left tell the same story over & over & over, that districts & Dept of Ed. would listen and make positive changes to allow teaching to be a viable profession, and schools to be a place of learning. But I don't see that happening in our lifetimes. I hope whatever you do now pays you well, leaves you with a sense of accomplishment, and with energy left over to enjoy life.

Wow… thank you for sharing this amazing tribute to your father 💕❤️! It really puts into perspective how short life truly is. I appreciate your love and compassion that shines through. I’m sorry for your loss, and I’m praying for you. You look just like your dad 😊. I am so sure that your dad is so proud of you. Keep shining your light, because it shines so bright 💕🙌🏾!

Beautiful tribute to your father. 💕
