Why I Quit Teaching

Too Many Reasons to Quit Teaching

The reasons I quit teaching are very complex.  Why should I return to a career that offers nothing to people actually doing all the work, the teachers! Why should I show loyalty to a schoold district that does not show it back.  I just heard that a good friend of mine who has been teaching for OVER 15 years, at the same school, and had built a strong relationship with the community has been displaced??? Are you kidding me??? The reasons to quit teaching outnumber the reasons to continue. 

So What Happens When you Quit Teaching

After I quit teaching, I find myself in a state of limbo.  I tried finding jobs here and there just to pay the bills.  Don't get me wrong, I was happy not having to deal with the stress that comes with the teaching profession.  I even thought about going back to school for another 2 to 4 years to find something else to do.  Well, time and money are two major reasons that make going back to school hard to do.  I mean how much money did I spend to become a well respected and highly compensated teacher? Ha! I started my home business after careful and extensive research and I couldn't be happier.  I urge you, if you want to start your own home business like I did, to make sure you "do your homework" no pun intended.  I have found the right one for me but it might not be the right one for you.  It all depends on how much work and time you are willing to put in for your home business just like you did or want to do for your degree or certification.

Do I Regret Quitting Teaching

Teaching is treacherous. Don’t get me wrong, in its purest form, teaching is wonderful but when you add the jackasses in suits that work downtown well that's when things start messing up. I quit teaching because I was fed up with the system. Not the just the system implemented by the “suits” downtown but the entire system as a whole. It is in fact a joke the way kids learn in the public education system.  I continue to teach but now I get rewarded with every student that is under my wing.  Now, I'm teaching people how to make money online and god, how I wish I would have done this a lot earlier in my life. Should you quit teaching?  Well, that's going to be up to you.  All I can tell you, is that you will know when you're ready to quit teaching.  It's the same feeling when you fall in love and when you're buying a house. It's never too late to start something new though! Isn't that what we preach over and over to our students as teachers?
