has finally arrived; and although you may be groaning that this means the kids will be home 24/7 for the whole summer , teachers everywhere are letting out collective sighs of relief. BIG ones. BecauseJessica Gentry, who recently penned an eye-opening Facebook post
"Let me tell you why those who ooze passion for teaching are leaving the occupation like their hair is on fire," Gentry writes, before listing off the many reasons why she's going -- as well as the inaccurate assumptions people will make. She's also not a fan of how technology is valued over one-on-one learning, which can leave their interpersonal skills pretty weak."I was cussed out by parents who wanted to attend field trips, but missed the THREE notes that went home," Gentry continues,"and when they did attend a trip, [they] sat on their phone the entire time."
"It breaks you," says Gentry."We become emotional eaters. We become couch potatoes to zone out. We become so short-fused that our families suffer."Gentry admits that she's walking away from a lot that others might say is crazy -- including her pension.
