Why I left Teaching…😭📚 #teacherlife

Hi everyone, I would like to say I have taught a lot of amazing students throughout the years who were respectful and wanted to earn a good education. I do not want to overlook them because they were amazing, but my experience overall is presented in this video because quite often it is the majority of the class who has had a difficult time valuing education, behaving, focusing and making good choices and an immense amount of unsupportative parents. However, I would like to thank every single parent that works hard for their kids each and everyday and has been very supportive of teachers!! Your support has meant so much to me and I’m sure to every teacher that you have encountered! 🥰❤️❤️

"School is supposed to be fun all day." That right there is the lie we pass on to our children...to their detriment. THANK YOU for making it plain!

The funny thing is some parents know exactly who their children are because the minute school is on break they can't wait for school to start because they don't want to deal with their children. They think it's the teacher's job to do so but when the teacher does it and the child comes home and make a complain then it's another problem. Thanks for your service and thanks for choosing your sanity and family over everything.

I quit teaching after 3 years. No regrets. Became a nurse

Well said. As a mother who has school aged children, I completely agree. It’s sad to lose another great educator, but the disregard and disrespect of teachers has gone too far.

I left teaching for all these reasons too. I left last January and I've never regretted it a day. There is not enough support and respect for teachers. I am prioritizing my PEACE!

Oh wow. SHE IS PUTTING IN TO WORDS EVERYTHING THAT I AM FEELING AND GOING THROUGH RIGHT NOW.

Your video should be apart of a seminar for teachers and the school system across the board.

This video needs to go viral. This story needs to be told from a teachers perspective. I wish you the best Martha. 🙏🏾❤️

I am in the teaching field and I totally understand where you are coming from. What’s crazy to me is when I tell a student I’m going to contact their parent and they respond with I don’t care. Call my parent! The students nowadays are so rude and disrespectful and the parents do not care!

I'm 41 years old. I remember being in the 3td grade and a parent came to our classroom. This parent daughter was miss behaving so badly. My classmate was disrupting the class. Talking to the teacher crazy. But, why my classmate did not know is her mother was in the classroom right next to the coat closet watching her. My classmate mom walked through the coat closet to the back of the classroom and yanked her out of her sit. My classmate was in shock l. The whole time she was acting up her mom was there and saw it all. Her mom took her into that coat closet and beat her butt. Needless to say that classmate did not act up in school anymore.

🗣️🗣️ “MAKE YOUR CHILD BEHAVE!” All us teachers need that on a shirt lol

Yay! I’m so happy for you girl!! It’s only up from here 🤗🙌🏾🙏🏾💃🏾

Martha, Martha, Martha, beautifully said. This was my exact reasoning for leaving teaching. I stayed home after COVID and my husband noticed an “ease” about me that bought peace into our home. At that point, I chose my family, health, and joy. I made a pivot with grace and trust in GOD and HE has made away. Thank you for your words and may GOD bless you and your family.

As a teacher.....YOUR VIDEO NEEDS TO GO VIRAL !!!!!! YOU NAILED IT !!!!!!

2022 - 2023 was my LAST YEAR teaching in public school! I'm "walking on water" and trusting the Lord, too! I am so encouraged by your video! You took the words right out of my mouth! Even when you said your husband said you change when school starts, my husband told me the same thing. My prayer is that, somehow, we teachers who have left public school could come together as the great teachers we are and create an educational platform that has the Word of God as our foundation! You've advocated for ALL TEACHERS!! You are an ADVOCATE! This video took COURAGE, and even though I've never met you, I am proud of the stand you've taken! I pray Father's BLESSINGS on you and your family!! No GOOD THING will He withhold from them who walk upright before Him!!! 🙏🏾❤

Thank you for your service. You did what most of us wouldn’t do. I see a lot of good teachers leaving because of the same reason. Thank you for choosing you and your family.

As a teacher, i agree with everything. Parents need to hold their child accountable. Parents confuse gentle parenting with not disciplining their child.

My God! I came across this video for a reason. I been crying out to God.Everything you have said is so true. I feel the same way right now. I have nothing left in me right now. I can't no more. I pour out my whole energy. My mental health is going down. Administrators treat teachers like kids.I barely have time with my own daughter. I'm done.

"When school starts I am going to war because I don't know what I will be met with!" Powerful mindset that I use when school starts. Thank you for this statement.
