Common conclusions
If you love teaching, this is one of the most gratifying jobs that you can ever do. There is nothing more satisfying than teaching children and see them grow to become responsible adults in the future and you can rest assured that you have had a role to play in shaping their interests, personality, and career. This is what makes this job such an important one, so never quit if you love to teach, despite the ups and downs that may come in your career.
Well, health is undoubtedly the highest priority for anyone. So, if you're unwell, consider taking a break for a few months or years. Once you're well, you can always come back to teaching because it is a satisfying job. That said, if you're suffering from a debilitating condition or believe you'll never be able to come back to a classroom again, go ahead and quit.
Financial priorities are undoubtedly important, but being stuck in a boring job that pays a lot of money can wear you out quickly. That's why teaching is often considered to be a better job because of the mental satisfaction and happiness that comes with it. So, think about it and strive to create a balance between your mental happiness and money. Accordingly, decide if you should quit your teaching job.
Quitting a job because of politics or problems with colleagues is the worst reason to quit because these problems are going to persist in every organization. A better option is to learn to navigate through these problems and find your own path because at the end of the day, teaching is what you love to do and you want to do it to the best extent possible.
Most women who work today don't have the right support system and they often turn to daycare centers and other options to strike a balance between personal and professional life. The same applies to you too and you can rest assured in the fact that you're not alone in this pursuit. Now the choice to quit is a personal one. If you think a teaching job is too demanding and want to quit, it's probably not the right choice because other jobs can be equally demanding, if not more.
Though there can be many social reasons for this decision, think about it again as there are solutions to every problem and quitting may not be the only one.
Analyze your reasons to quit and see if they are worth this drastic decision.
