Hi, I suppose I should not moan while I am lucky enough to have a job but I realise more than ever this year that I need to take a new direction. Where does a person of 49 trained only in teaching go when they need to change???? Has any one out there ever changed??? What did you do???? I can't deal with kids who are not interested in listening or behaving any more!Thanks
 
Sounds more like your having a problem with the school/kids your teaching than the actual teaching job itself. Have you considered applying to another school?.. Have you tried making your lessons more appealing/interesting to your students?..so they would want to learn (don't mean to imply you're boring)..
Have you considered writing? Some teachers succeed in a writing career like Eoin Colfer..JK Rowling.
 
Could you get into selling products or services to teachers or schools? Or arranging substitutes for schools? Or into professional training - IT products or soft skills? Or writing text books or developing eLEarning tools?
