Teachers are expressing growing frustration with a lack of administrative support, particularly regarding student behavior and overall workplace support. One teacher, sharing his experience on the “Teachers in Transition” Reddit forum, revealed his struggle with burnout and resentment. Initially passionate about his job, he now feels mentally and physically exhausted from constantly going above and beyond to support students, while some colleagues remain disengaged. He finds himself frequently interacting with students, taking on roles like playing games or listening to their stories, but it’s becoming overwhelming. He admitted to feeling resentful of his own dedication, wishing he could be more passive like some of his peers who avoid involvement.
