I teach 8th grade in South Carolina. This is my first year here, and I hate it. The kids in this school are the most disrespectful, lazy, arrogant pieces of trash I've ever met, and the parents are no better. I'm a very happy person, but this place makes me so angry and depressed. Next year I'll be teaching back up north where in my experience the kids are so much better, and I've always taught in low income communities up there. I know I only have to hang on until June 4th, but good lord I want to quit so bad some days. I hate feeling so tense and overwhelmed and angry. It's not my nature and it's not good for my baby. I could really use some prayers to keep positive and strong.
