Why I Would Be Quiting My Teaching Job Tomorrow by paranoidfellow: 7:33pm On Mar 28, 2022
It actually a not so funny story.

So I worked at a private school 8am - 2pm for a pay of 17k monthly. I was employed to work as an Agric and Economics teacher. Payment is always prompt and I'm never owed a salary. Few weeks after I resumed, a teacher left and her subjects was distributed to other teachers. Hence, I am taking 3 subjects now. The teacher that left was also a class teacher of JSS1.

Fast forward to today, after exams where the class teacher will be collating scores, I was told I will henceforth be the class teacher of Jss1 which I outrightly reject. The proprietor was called upon and to quote him, he said ' Authoritatively I'm making you the class of JSS1" and I replied that I reject it.

I got home angrily and hungrily, I put a cup of rice on fire and I called a colleague of mine on whatsapp and was discussing the issue with her. I got carried away and the pot of rice was extremely burnt.

In the bid to remove the pot from fire, not thinking straight, I took the 'new school sport wear' (a cloth we were forced to buy for 6k and the money will be deducted from our salary) that I left hanging in the dining room, outside minded I use the cloth to carry the hot burnt pot of rice.

The result has being attached.

I'm walking to the man tomorrow to terminate my appointment immediately and pay me my remaining salary!

I don't joke with my mental health

@ OP, I think, like your moniker, you are getting paranoid and you allowed things to spiral out of your control.
Even if you quit tonight,I guarantee you that the school will still continue. You handle children and you can do better with your emotion.
Next time, instead of repeating your negative "I reject it", you can politely request for a meeting where you can ask for the extra tasks you may have to undertake and if there is monetary compensation that comes with it.

If you are a committed teacher, you will take that opportunity and prove that you are competent.
I will not encourage you to listen to anyone making you feel that your pay is horrible, it is money earned legitimately which comes with its own blessings. It does not give you the opportunity to disrespect your employer.
Like I always tell my people, the way you exit an organization is even more important than how you joined the organization.Things are changing and you will be shocked that if you leave in a disrespectful and unprofessional manner,it could later cost you in the future wink

You need to be calming down and if there are serious issues on your mind, seek help on them. These your reasons are not a big deal. Take up the extra task and help those young fellas if you are truly a teacher(Guru as Indians affectionately regard teachers).
As time goes on, more opportunities will come your way, if you struggle to always go or do extra, you will be regarded as mediocre,especially in highly competivie high paying environment.

Thank you very much. One of the reason I posted it, to wonder if I'm on the right or just overthinking the issue. I can stay but I won't take up the extra work. I really appreciate your input and I see things from another point of view. I mean it, your words had an impact and I'm grateful for that.

Hope you have already made plans on how to survive after your resignation. Don’t be too haste even if I understood your anger. I’m not an advocate of working grudgingly, but you have to understand and be ready for what you are going into.

Calm down sir, I feel your pain, I'm once a secondary teacher, they're really crazy set of people especially those mission schools or those pastor owned school, they'll frustrate your existence, I once work with a pastor Mrs school, this woman doesn't pay December salary, she actually pend it till mid January of the next month, I've been in the school for 3 terms the day she annoyed me was the day she said I should write my exam questions in the 2a book I'm taking 3courses o jss 1 through 3, plus data processing for ss1, I told her bluntly that I can't subject myself to that kind of stress, I told her I have soft copies on my phone, she said no, I went to thier school system and deleted all my questions, then I left, she Thought I was joking.


See bro, calm down, so that you'll get paid for the little you've done, God bless you sir.
