At present I`m working in two different places and I�m about to quit one of the posts. I�ve been offered a new position as a tutor as well. I�m starting as a tutor in March or April.
You can read previous posts in this forum where I describe my situation at the institution I�m about to leave:
-I cannot tackle misbehaviour problem.
-Some students are violent against their fellow students (verbal and physical aggression)
-A student that hasn�t been identified stole my Neo mp3 player (a small and portable one) during a listening lesson last November
-I could mention other matters but it would be unethical to write about them here.
I�ve been reading some articles and I can identify signs which indicate that I should leave
These signs are:
-Lack of passion
-My job is making me sick
-I�m surrounded by egregious behavior (in the classroom)�(also harassing behavior)
- Time passes VERY slowly when I�m at work
- I commute for about 3 hours twice a week and I�m tired
- I have the gut feeling that I might need to quit for one reason or another
- I feel anxious or unhappy just THINKING about work
- I sometimes feel my job is not appreciated and, this, in turn, brings a feeling of stagnation
Everything said I�m stressed and worried about the process of leaving. Some authorities,co-workers and students have been very kind to me. I don�t know� I feel like a traitor At the same time�my health is first �What worries me most is that school year starts on March 5 and I won�t be able to leave my position on March 4 unless I�m sure the tutor position is available for me (I can�t afford to lose my salary one month)
P.s. I�m also afraid that as soon as I start attending school, inertia will get me and I just won�t leave
