School related ads/pins make me stressed
I've been looking at the "everything" section of Pinterest and a lot of them are "classroom ideas" from teachers. Every times I see one I stress about the school year starting and when I remember I'm not a teacher anymore it's a HUGE sign of relief.
This happens every time I see a school supply announcement or the stands in Target/Walmart. I wonder how many years it will take me before stop having an adverse reaction to back to school stuff.
I have so much respect for teachers, but I am so so so glad that I switched careers.

Re: School related ads/pins make me stressed
I didn't know you were a teacher either! I can't imagine how hard it can be. What did you teach?
I didn't last long, that's for sure! I graduated college on a half year (December) so I did one half year and then started another year, only to be interrupted by hurricane Katrina so that year was a little odd. I had a class, then I didn't - then I moved to another class, then I was in the sub pool and subbed and then ended up in a facilitator position that I actually liked. If I could have stayed doing that I may have, but I had to go back to teach 3 full years to go through the new teacher assessment program. The thought of 3 years to a 22 year old just feels like a lifetime. Couldn't do it!
I officially taught K-3 special education, then middle school special ed for a month. The facilitator position was back to K-3 and it was like pre-screening for special ed stuff.
I was actually really good at it and people were not pleased when I didn't go back, but it was WAY too stressful for me. I cried all the time. When a reading company we worked with offered me a job with them I jumped on it. (That position faded out which is how I'm in office work and I love it).
Heck no!! No teaching for me.
It wasn't "inner city" per say, but it was definitely the hood of our suburb.
