– Being a new teacher at Nong Bon Wittayakom resulting in the opportunity to work as a host from Pat’s persuasion From someone who spoke very little to today’s talent And it is a passive skill that can be further enhanced in government service.

– and regardless of which school they serve in civil service Sansanee found that Always have the opportunity to do important work The latest position received before resignation : Student Council Supervisor : Deputy Head of Matthayom 4 and participated in many important tasks of the school from being the student council supervisor.

The question that many people probably ask is the same, why resign???

At first I decided to tell people very little. Because a lot of work is not ready to answer anyone’s questions As time passed, I began to tell people involved in work so that they could prepare a plan before we left.

Why did you resign?…Let me answer the part that I want to answer and I want to communicate. So that you can understand why Sansanee doesn’t go to school.

1. Sansanee’s life as a teacher at present is very tiring and heavy, as in the word “Guru” which means heavy. never say comfortable Anyone who tells me that the teacher’s job is comfortable, I want you to come and try it.

2. Sansanee is not the only teacher. Also a gardener And it’s something that can’t be left behind. Originally Monday – Friday Day and night school work Saturday – Sunday and other holidays working in the garden But nowadays, schoolwork has already swallowed Sansanee’s life completely. There is almost no time for gardening or relaxation. Saturday – Sunday During the day and night, he still sits in front of the computer to type hard work. School work haunts day and night. Important moments in the garden, such as fertilizing and selling marigolds, are very important. But I didn’t have to go to school.

3. The reason from No. 1 started to make Sansanee Started to eat late and did not eat lunch several times. which it shouldn’t be like that at all And when it comes to gardening, of course, the word relaxation doesn’t exist in Sansanee’s world. Becoming a teacher is hard, gardening is hard, physically and mentally starting to break down. A person who works as a teacher alone Or only gardening, so may not understand

4. The idea of ​​resigning didn’t just happen. Happened at least a year ago, just didn’t talk to many people. Suddenly, the goal of life is to resign. Ask why? FWe are tired of many systems that waste your time in vain. It’s a very documented system. Have to spin a lot of thick documents but no one reads it Just look at what the cover is and how thick it is. Have you sent it yet? It’s over!! And then I got tired of the ways of teachers who were crazy about competition. If you don’t want to compete, you have to compete. for the reputation of the school to have a portfolio Only certain groups of children benefit. Especially in the competition for the P.H.O.K. Seriously, let’s send teachers to compete. How much did you end up with? personal feeling that Are we lost? What we should focus on is teaching in the classroom. Teaching jobs must come number 1, not special jobs. not another job And there are many other issues that teachers are well aware of. Waiting for 25 years of service and then resigning For Sansanee, it is very difficult.

5. In the end, it was settled that… Good teacher service Sansanee is proud to be a teacher. Salary is better than other civil service Welfare is here. But the thing that must be exchanged is physical health, mind, time, life that must be invested at this point, starting to see that it’s not worth it. A comfortable teacher is a dead teacher and a non-working teacher. We are serious and dedicated people. Giving us to slowly reduce work until we become teachers who do not work. Not Sansanee’s way…The teacher’s profession is not wrong. But it just doesn’t fit with what we are now. In the past, the goal of life was growth in civil service life. But now the idea has changed. The purpose of our lives is to live. have good physical and mental health and have time with family

From all the reasons that happened It also coincided with the rhythm of the family. garden that needs care Mother began to lose health. I thought it was better to dedicate my life to my family. There are two regrets: not teaching students anymore because we like to teach And will have to distance from the friendship of a very cute colleague.

Finally, if anyone is thinking of resigning, please think carefully. The question that must be answered is

1. After leaving, what are you going to do? Where does the income come from? how to live

2. Having to take off his rank and become an ordinary person Can I accept it?

3. When not receiving our official rights How do we take care of ourselves and our families?

4. Before leaving, we must study what rights we will receive from the government. and plan well

(Our government service for more than 10 years has the right to receive gratuities and GPF.)

5. Look at the terms of resignation whether it is in these conditions or not. Must not be on leave to study, spend money, be subject to disciplinary examinations or lawsuits. Importantly, if there is debt, it must be cleared first.

6. Submit a resignation request no less than 30 days to the supervisor.
