I hope you get your issues sorted and you can go onto a more peaceful work environment. Sucks hating your job. I am grateful for mine.
Thanks. Yeah, it's life, but I'm sort of stuck in this rut. I have a contract. However, the economy has forced districts to try to lose experienced teachers. I have 4 years left until I can retire so I have to work. Because of SC law, I can't negotiate a lower salary so I'm stuck with this.

I've never been a teacher that worked only from 8 - 3:30. I put in hours after school. And I try to make it interesting. But you would think that the powers that be could respect that and let me retire with grace. But because they can hire two people with my salary, my bosses feel the need to destroy my career and me with it.

Thanks for listening and caring.
