I am a teacher so I understand the huge pressure involved not just in teaching, paperwork, planning, marking and assessing, but the students themselves!
It's certainly not an easy job.
I'm wondering if you are teaching older students....'cos that can bring REAL pressure. Many of them don't want to learn or just try to make smart comments.
Have you thought about teaching younger pupils...not half as much back chat!
Or teaching adults, who really want to learn.
Thing with teaching is it can be an emotional drain especially if you are dedicated.
Me, my health went downhill because of a lot of other stress in my life and teaching just finished me off.
If teaching is ruining your life then try to think what else you might like to do with your qualification where you can still use your skills.
Best of luck.

I'm a high school teacher and I completely understand your dilemma. I face the same challenges every school day.
I have found that sending the trouble makers to the principle gives the rest of the class a clear stance; while you take back authority. You have to crack down on the ones who are creating all the distractions and disrespect. Don't have them in your class.
I'm going to assume you teach middle school children?
Before giving up all together, try teaching elementary school children. You will find a better sense of control over the situation with the younger kids and they are easiest to manage. Good luck!

Look at your school rules that your administration will back you on. Schedule your discipline around that. Example: Cell Phones, I have set up the rule that if I see a cell phone the student looses their academic points for the day, no arguement. I just point, say cell phone, they know. I do not write them up, I do not confiscate the phone, I do not send them to administration. The third time, the are sent to the principal for chronic disregard of class rules. They have the choice, because I have taken initial steps within the classroom the administration can back me up. Students are real people but they are children. Do not make the mistake of treating them as equals. You set clear boundaries, and stick to them. You do not ever make a threat you can not or will not keep or the administration will not back you on. Put your rules and the consequences for breaking them in writing, make sure your administration will back you up on them, send the rules home to the parents. All concerned parties for inforcing rules are informed and in agreement. The students will always balk at the rules - that is part of growing up. They will obey the rules if they are inforced across the board.

Maybe you just need a chance to get to know the children better, and for them to know you. Most children take advantage of new teachers, because they think the teacher isn't familiar with the disipline system, etc. For them to gain your respect, you should make it obvious to them that you respect them as a group. Also, making lessons interesting and fun increases your popularity greatly. Think of a way to make the lesson fun, but educational at the same time.

Welcome to the world of teaching. Despite what they tell you in school... it isn't going to be peaches and cream. My advice to you is to keep doing what your doing. The students that you are teaching are not use to having a teacher who pushes them to become better people. It is hard work but if someone doesn't do it, then your students will never get it.

well what age group are you teaching and at what kind of school? I'd say teach younger kids and look into getting a job at a private school

Not everyone is cut out to be a teacher. It sounds as if you are in the wrong career.
