Kendra Morato

FORMER High School Math Teacher in the PNW. I was a great educator, but as the obligations grew for teachers, and as I became a mom, my priorities changed.

It’s been over a year since I stopped teaching and I am still beyond grateful that I no longer have to make sub plans when I am sick. It’s crazy how much stress that added to an already exhausting experience.

Last night I was explaining to an old friend who was teaching Algebra the difference between slope for a horizontal line vs vertical line because she had it backwards… IN MY DREAM. I STILL DREAM ABOUT MATH. WHO AM I. I CANNOT ESCAPE! #formerteacher

@SKellerDrew I resigned last year for the same reasons- my family was getting my leftovers. It’s not right. I support you and wish you a healthier future. It’s much nicer on the outside, I must say!

I used to love wearing many hats, until I found the one that fits best of all. https://t.co/Zq8P39psIB

It's been working for me for 15 years. Here's how I find clarity by... talking to myself? https://t.co/iegrjF01eQ

How I became a student again after I stopped being a teacher, and why my newest Mission Statement is guiding me to my latest purpose. https://t.co/iG80mnPvXB

As a teacher, do you ever get that anxiety Sunday night when you’re thinking about the week ahead? I used to every week. Here’s my latest post about the Sunday Night Scaries #formerteacher #sundayscaries

Investing in myself and it feels like I’m on 🔥

I told myself I would make this blog public once I had at least 3 posts. I’m currently at 5, so here we go: https://t.co/eYEEeK9kPw

Inspiration has struck, and I’ve decided I want to share my thoughts as a former high school math teacher and current Mama with the world. I have too much to say. Here’s to new ventures that feel right, even if it’s just the beginning ❤️ ➡️ https://t.co/eYEEeK9kPw #formerteacher

Today would’ve been my first day back with students after my maternity leave. Instead of waking up at 5am, on 4 hours of sleep after caring for my teething 5 month old, I got to sleep in with her and tell her good morning, without any anxiety about my day. I am so thankful ❤️

[Kendra Morato @MoratoMath]

@BlasterOfArt Totally, I love the students so much. But nowadays I feel like they need so much and one teacher can’t meet those needs alone. They will try, for sure, and be spread so thin that hardly anything is left. Not okay 😔

[Kendra Morato @MoratoMath]

Note: not sure what that is as far as “work” but for now it means always keeping my house clean and entertaining my 5 month old daughter/best friend every day. I’m cool with that ❤️

[Kendra Morato @MoratoMath]

And with that, ready to say HELLO to something new. ❤️

[Kendra Morato @MoratoMath]

Cleaned out my classroom today which was a cumulation of 6 years of memories and ish. Bittersweet but as I was flooded with memories, the theme was constant: I loved the kids, but I’m ready to say goodbye.

[Kendra Morato @MoratoMath]

@KGallagher_SCI @JustinAion I completely agree! I was so disappointed when I heard our school was going back to the same block schedule with no adaptations whatsoever and no time to adjust curriculum for the impact of last year. Such a missed opportunity 😔

[Kendra Morato @MoratoMath]

@jodilepla Thank you Jodi. I’m sad to leave but excited to brainstorm how to be involved in other ways ❤️

[Kendra Morato @MoratoMath]

Here is how I explained why I resigned from my job as a teacher.
