It’s healthy to be interested in the lives of the people you’re closest to. Sometimes this interest can lead to anxiety, which is normal. But being directly concerned about what someone is going through is a warning sign for you and them.

A man found himself in this position after watching his wife, a teacher, work incredibly hard and “lose her mind.” Unsurprisingly, he is not the only teacher in this situation.

A worried husband wanted to get some help for his struggling teacher wife.

“Teachers” community on Reddit It’s usually reserved for teachers, but one’s husband found himself there to ask a question so he could help his wife, who is also a teacher.

“I reached out to see if anyone had any ideas… on how to handle this situation,” he began.

“My wife is a primary school teacherand like most teachers, he is absolutely losing his mind about this new generation,” he said. “The kids don’t listen, they don’t focus, they’re pretty disrespectful.”

He continued: “School administration tends to ask too much of teachers; the teacher must simultaneously take care of the children, take care of the parents, and handle all kinds of extracurricular activities.”

Despite student behavior problems and administration demands, his wife is reluctant to try a new job.

“She has worked forever and is fully certified to be an elementary school teacher,” he explained. “And now it’s only been a few years since we started, really don’t like it.”

“We floated the idea of ​​having him become a teacher instead, but he didn’t like the idea of ​​working evenings and weekends instead of regular hours,” she shared.

“Anyone else having this problem?” he asked. “I know many teachers are frustrated with their jobs. Many teachers are resigning en masse. Doesn’t want to give up because this is his only profession.”

“What did other sane individuals do in this situation?” he wondered.

Other teachers offered whatever encouragement and advice they could.

Frankly, this is a very difficult situation for everyone involved. And of course, this is not specific to one family. Many teachers are feeling the same tension right now.

“It’s time to get out now,” one person commented. “34 years later I will drive a truck. “I will earn more money and enjoy life more.”

“Same ship,” agreed another. “I expect it to get better, but it doesn’t. Kids are so dedicated, they don’t practice and They want everything to be given to them without any effort. on their side. “They don’t even say thank you and they don’t even argue.”

Another teacher asked, “How long has he been teaching? “This will be very important because the first three to five years can be very tiring and you learn a lot and sometimes things change on a dime.”

It was a good thing this couple kept that in mind, because it looked like the man’s wife hadn’t been teaching very long. Maybe if he stayed there longer he would get more used to it.

It is true that many teachers quit.

Just like this husband and these commenters said, many people teachers are leaving the profession. Actually, Schools That Lead reported “8% of teachers leave each year, and those most likely to leave are younger teachers.”

Additionally, “90% of teachers claim it is a ‘serious’ problem, with 67% claiming it is ‘very serious’.”

As more and more teachers leave the profession, this will likely lead to a teaching crisis with a teacher shortage. This would be detrimental to the students they claim is pushing them out of the profession.

In order to prevent education from being disrupted, some interventions need to be made before it reaches this point.
