Look, don’t blame yourself. Teaching is hard and I see teachers online talking about how the current crop of kids are more difficult to handle.

There are definitely other options for working with young people that isn’t like that

I feel terrible for giving up so easily, but until there's some sort of radical change in the system, I don't think I want to do it

Trust yourself, if you really don’t want to do it don’t waste time or further money on sunk cost fallacy.

Maybe there’s still time to withdraw and get some of the tuition back?
