Teachers suffer from allowing their job consume them, to the detriment of their family and health.

My advice is to make sure you have some other life activities that counter your classroom side...keep learning new things and going on new adventures. You will be a better teacher and the children will benefit from your fresh stories and happier demeanor.

I also believe in seeking and appreciating local resources....live in the place you're in!

MY JOB IS ONE OF THE LOWEST PAYING SCHOOLS IN THE WHOLE COUNTY AND THAT IS SO SAD BECAUSE IT'S NOT LIKE THE OWNER DOESNT HAVE THE MONEY! IT'S EVEN MORE SAD THAT IM SITTING DOWN AND WRITING THIS BECAUSE I HAVE THE RIGHT TOOLS TO HELP MOVE FURTHER IN LIFE. WELL MY ADVICE FOR ANYONE IN A SITUATION LIKE MINE IS "TO NEVER JUST SETTLE FOR SOMETHING IF YOU DONT THINK ITS FAIR ENOUGH FOR YOU, AND DONT LET ANYONE MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE TO BECAUSE IT JUST ENDS UP HURTING YOU IN THE LONG RUN. AND NEVER GET TO COMFORTABLE AT YOUR JOB CAUSE THEN YOU WILL BEGIN TO FEEL GILTY FOR LEAVING " High school math teacher - High School Teacher - (City withheld for privacy), New York, United States.
