I have been teaching in a low income/high risk urban school district for 8 years. I enjoy the kids and the challenge of teaching them, although I do worry about personal safety sometimes. I just feel really burned out because in addition to teaching these little people, I also have MOUNTAINS of paperwork that I am responsible for. It's not important, just BS. that basically justifies someone higher ups' position. I really feel like I cannot do all of this and be an effective teacher, and also a mother-there is just not enough time in the day. I feel as though my family suffers because I am so stressed out when I get home.
I have an undergarduate teaching degree and a master's degree in Liberal Studies( I chose this field of study because I suspected that I could not do my present job for 30 years). What else can I do with these credentials? Please give me some ideas. I'd like to work from home, although that isn't necessary, and I don't want to have to travel.
