@courageunlocked: I have no regrets quitting my school counseling job. None. 💛 18 years in education. I loved the kids — that part was never the problem. The problem was the system. The rigid schedule. The paperwork mountain. The "do more with less" until there's nothing left of you. A system that's antiquated and burns out the very people it depends on. Here's how I feel now: lighter. Peaceful in a way I didn't know was possible. No more Sunday dread. No more crying in my car before school. I'm at pickup every day, I'm present for my own kids, and I'm building something from my phone that actually gives me freedom. I didn't leave the kids. I left the system. And I would do it again tomorrow. If you're still in it and you feel that ache every Sunday night — comment READY and I'll show you exactly where I started. (results aren't typical — I showed up and did the work) #teacherlife #burntoutteacher #teachertok #schoolcounselor #workfromhomemom
