Today was so bad I was contemplating career-ending actions.
You know that point in teacher movies where the fed-up teacher packs up their stuff and storms out? That was what I was considering today. I am so sick of the complete lack of responsibility among the students here. Nothing is ever their fault, they're never doing anything wrong--it's all me. Apparently I have some kind of mutant power that makes them smoke pot before coming to class, read gun magazines while I'm trying to teach (and, by the way, having gun mags is illegal in school, so there had best be a consequence here), and never do their work.
More and more I question teaching here next year.
