Julie Marburger thought teaching was her dream job, but after working as a teacher for two years she’s already had enough
At her wits end, she decided to reveal her struggles in a passionate post that has strongly resonated with people
She also added some photos from her classroom showing the damage children have done in just two days
She also stated that all of the items were purchased by her and not by the school because they have no classroom budget
“I have never heard of a profession where people put so much of their heart and soul into their job, taking time and resources from their home and family, and getting paid such an insultingly measly amount”
“It has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember to have a classroom of my own”
“Now my heart is broken to have become so disillusioned in these short two years”
“Any passion for this work I once had has been wrung completely out of me”
“THIS HAS TO STOP”
The post went crazy viral, with almost 400,000 shares and many teachers started sharing similar stories
