hi y’all, I’m gonna try and make this as short as possible. I work 2 part time jobs, one remote and one at a school as a TA. It’s the school job, the one that is making me miserable.
Every day I walk into one of the classrooms I work in and I just know I’m gonna be disrespected, talked down to, and made feel like shit by the teacher. I keep holding on because otherwise I’d be left with basically half of my current income and tbh, I do enjoy working with the kids. However, the hostility of this teacher has come to the point that I feel really bad anxiety before even walking in. I’m not exaggerating when I say it’s truly affecting my mental health.
I only have this job because I needed the money. If I wanted to pursue a career in education, I’d be willing to try and work it out, but I really have no interest in becoming a teacher. There has been times I’ve wanted to just walk out because of how much my boundaries have been pushed, but something’s stoping me. Can someone encourage me to just do it? I think it’s time but can’t find the courage to.
