I genuinely feel bad for teachers these days…

And this story illustrates my feelings to a tee.

A teacher named Kevin talked to TikTok viewers about why he ended up quitting a teaching job…on the first day.

Kevin said that his first day on the job as a teacher was in August 2023 and he already had major reservations.

He explained, “I don’t want this. I went to school for no reason. I thought I could handle it.”

Kevin added, “These kids are just mean. They’re rude, they’re smelly, they were sneezing everywhere. So today’s my last day.”

That’s rough…

Here’s the video.

And here’s what folks had to say.

This TikTokker thinks he might try subbing.

Another person said people need to sub first before they commit to teaching.

And this individual thinks teachers need to GET OUT.

Teaching these days sounds like a nightmare.

Sad, but true!
