I couldn’t do substitute teaching, that would be more stressful I feel than regular teaching as I know how kids treat substitutes lol. Hell they treat me like a sub when the main teacher isn’t there and it isn’t nice. But thanks for the suggestion. The problems with my certificate is that I’ve already renewed it the maximum number of times. I was supposed to have gotten my schooling done by now but BP got in the way. But that’s neither here nor there; I don’t want to be a teacher anymore anyway.

I think I’m going to give it a shot as long as I can get intermittent fmla. If I can at least take a mental health day here or there without getting yelled at then I think I might be able to make it. I really have no other choice. I know I won’t find a job in six weeks. I just need to scrimp and save as much as possible to hold me over. If I’m really lucky, they will fire me again and I can get unemployment.

I guess that’s the attitude I’m going to take; I don’t have to worry about excelling, just doing right by the students.
