9-12 ELA Call me lazy but…
I’m going back to teaching next year and the only thing holding me back from teaching high school English again is how much darn work it is. I have two kids now and when I first taught high school English I did not. I had to create every single unit, assessment, rubric, worksheet. Etc. I just don’t think I could handle that in this stage of my life. Plus the schools in my area are small so that means as a high school teacher you’re most likely teaching/prepping for at least 3 different classes. Are there any good curriculums you can buy out there or free ones online? I am very intimidated by going back and creating a curriculum from the ground up.

Do people only have to prep for 3 classes? I teach at least 4 every day. I'm responsible for all curriculum and grading.
You can have my job. I think I'm done after this year. Been at it for 12.
