Basically the title. I’ve been rocking back and forth between staying at my current job and leaving almost every other week. I work with kids (K-5) with diagnosed behavior disorders and special needs. While I absolutely adore these children, I have been feeling so burnt out.
I am the one employee on my team that seems to do everything. When I bring concerns about student behavior to my boss they are shut down with “different strategies” to use. While I appreciated this, the strategies aren’t working and I feel like a doormat to these kids. I always feel like I’m doing something wrong. My boss and I have a weird relationship as she confides in me about a lot of stuff and it makes me scared to quit. I feel stuck.
So the question is, do I stick this out for 4 1/2 more months, or do I put in my two weeks at the end of the school year and say seeya? Part of me wants to stay just to get it over with, but my mental health says otherwise. Thanks for reading.
