I am not a teacher by profession. But I am teaching Computers in secondary school. This school is my alma mater.
I have observed a big difference in the educational system though. I hate to say this but I am no longer comfortable with the system.
Moreover, it's barely three months since the classes has started and I never felt so stressed.
Not that I don't like to teach anymore, I just don't like how things are going right now.
Should I quit or not?
For sure, I can not quit until the school ends. But I decide to do so, I must find an alternative source of income.
How much do I need to earn? Based on our expenses I recon, I need to earn at least $75 a week. The question is how do I earn that much?

If I were about to experience a burnout and there was nothing I could do to change the system, I'd quit. That's what I would do, then I can't tell you what to do.
I know there is someone on myLot who teaches English online, I think it's @Shavkat and he is from the Philippines too, so hopefully he can help with figuring out what you can replace your current job with. English is not the same as Computers but you look fluent to me. 
Creating educational videos and building a following on social media could take too much time, so I guess you're looking for a more immediate source of income.

It is nice for you to tag me along. I am sure our friend will need to take time to figure out what is best. For you, John, if you are interested in being a virtual teacher, I am willing to help and guide you up with the process. You can be a part-timer for engaging with this kind of field.

@Shavkat No problem, I'm so glad to see you're willing to help him. You're the nice one, while I just "brutally" pushed you into this discussion.

It's hard to say, but I personally think perhaps it's better to quit it after you find another job. As I don't know whether it is easy to find a job there. Sometimes we have to work the job that we don't like much, but living is still much important, especially if you have a family to support.
