I was a High School teacher for 9 years. If I could just go to work and teach the kids I wouldn't have left. The actual working with the kids part was generally enjoyable and fulfilling. It's all the other shit that makes the job annoying at best and miserable at worst.
I was a daycare worker for 5yrs & no, we are not glorified babysitters. My center had actual curriculum & we were attached to a private kindergarten. We made sure our kids were kindergarten ready & i loved working in pre-k the most. I wasn't a lead, but i got a chance to lead & i would cover the kindergarten class after offical class was over. I loved it so much i almost went back to school to be a kindergarten teacher. The kids & the work isnt the reason I chose to leave childcare.
