Reply #7: If the current job is draining your emotions and energy [View All]

does it also affect commitment? I think at some point, if a job takes a lot out of you, you end up just phoning it in and so what's the point of sticking with a place where you're doing that? These are sad times in our schools. I think a lot of teachers feel beaten down. If you have a chance to go where you might experience joy in your job again, it may be that you have to take it - and it may re-charge you to go back to the more needy students after a couple of years.

Everything is about perspective.
