I pour my heart and soul into my work, sacrificing countless after-school hours and weekends for co-curricular activities, event plannings and execution, and ensuring everything runs smoothly. But in the process, I've inadvertently neglected my family for years, and the damage and fallout feels irreparable. Now, my personal life is in shambles, family pretty much gone, and work still demands more from me. I put my entire existence tethered to my job, and despite giving it my all, I'm constantly indirectly told it's not good enough. These thoughts have been consuming me, and I can't shake the feeling that life simply isn't worth living anymore. Am I the only teacher feeling this?

I feel you. So I'm leaving. I don't see myself here anymore, or at least in this school. But I'm also not ready to jump from one hell to another deeper hell. Seems like my friends' schools are also the same and my batch of
NIE mates are tendering one by one. So since I made the decision to leave, I've only focused my energy on my students and class. Other than that, forget it. No one's going to clap for you even if you've done well. In this system, it's about how loud and noisy you are. People like me who just do their work diligently will just be burried to death. Whereas GEO5 people can gossip and talk about 'lim ko pi' and do cockpit only. So forget it. Leave while you still can.
