Do you know any teachers that have experienced ‘burnout’?

Or if you’re a teacher, same question.
The burnout phenomena that seems to eventually happen to most teachers in today’s society. The education system is completely broken and the policy makers refuse to acknowledge it or accept it.
Kids today just don’t GAF and teachers burnout within 5 years and then are recycled for the next new group of hopeful new college graduates, ready to take on the world. The administration doesn’t give a shite because all they care about is stats.
I’m not a teacher but several in my family are done with it and looking for ofher occupations to get into.

Burnout? Geez, around here, all they need to do is put in 25 years at it, retire at 49 or so, and live off a cushy government paid for pension for the rest of their lives.

I don't know how they don't. It's got to be just a shite show being a public school teacher.

They burn out from blowing little boys.

Even if the kids are turds, you can deal with them. After all, they’re kids. It’s when administration is also full of dicks who DGAF and don’t mind sabotaging your career with incompetence that it becomes tiresome.

I know plenty that has gone through it and several that quit. Many ended up selling insurance, a few do private tutoring, and others go back to school.

What are you talking about?
Pension plans for government workers are the single best thing about a government job

How do you burnout with two months off straight every year, and every holiday off. Not just Two days for Thanksgiving and Christmas, but a week for thanksgiving and two weeks for Christmas/New Years?
Posted on 9/7/18 at 7:35 pm to East Coast Band
The average teacher retirement age is somewhere in the mid-sixties and I'm not aware of any place in the country where one could retire at 49 with anything close to a full pension

I’m a teacher. Six years experience at the high school level and was burned out by year three. Tried to do something different but I’m back in K12 now at a middle school. It’s better, but I’m already a month in feeling the “burnout” blues.
I have 150 students and our administration checks that we give a grade once a week. I’d like to do more, but as an English teacher, grading one assignment the way it should be graded adds an extra 2-3 hours of work per week if not more. Then factor in PST paperwork and dealing with parents and following IEPs and...yeah. Getting burned out.
Teaching is fun and I like the kids but I just don’t feel like I can actually do my job the way I’d like.
But hey. I’m making $54k/year and family health insurance is $200/month for God Tier plan. So I can’t complain too much. I’ve seen the side of life that features no income and lots of rejection, so burnout is a forbidden word for me nowadays.

Teachers are a strange bunch. They feel it is more than a job when in school, but of course it always turns into a job. So they quit, and get a job working more with less pay and benefits. Stop trying to change the world and go to work.

I feel for teachers having to deal with little shits all day long, but I’ll never feel sorry for the “extra” work. That happens at any professional salaried job. Deal with it.

Why is it considered normal for private sector workers to bitch about their work at the bar but the second a teacher does the same thing it’s seen as superfluous whining?

How does one “burnout” within 5 years of starting a career where you get summers and all holidays off, and maybe have to grade papers while watching the Real Housewives for 90 minutes each night?
Is it because the little munchkins are knocking them up and they can’t take the jail time, and/or the stresses that go along with maternity leave for bastard children?

Because private sector workers are jealous of the benefits and time off and at times forget it's a low paying, high stress yet vitally important job
Lots of misplaced anger really
