"Yeah, that's it... I think I'm done."

Not everyone can teach. It's not just about the teaching, it's all the "little things" outside of the job description.

Recently, a teacher here has been saying how she's fed up with teaching, and how she's "not cut out for this". Her students have really been acting up and getting on her nerves. I've told her not to take it to heart, but that's easier said than done. Sometimes the students behave really disrespectful and can be very inconsiderate, but you can't sink down to that level.

Today, one student just got up, in the middle of class, and made a phone call to see if her glasses were ready. Another had a conversation on her cell phone, a LONG conversation, while the teacher was explaining something, THEN complained the teacher was going too fast. You can't win, so why fight? Just realize that sometimes people don't want to learn.
