The aim of the research is to reveal the experiences of teachers who left the school administration and return to the teaching profession, and the advantages and disadvantages of this situation, which caused them to leave the school administration. The data of the study, which was conducted with the phenomenology design, one of the qualitative research methods, were obtained by using a semi-structured interview form. Through criterion sampling, 19 teachers who previously worked as administrators in Siirt city center and returned to teaching were interviewed. The data obtained from the interviews were coded and content analysis was carried out under the themes. The majority of the managers participating in the research are male managers. The majority of those who left the management stated that the administrative work and transactions are intense and the administrative paperwork is excessive. At the same time, family-based reasons as an external factor and workload as an internal factor are effective in quitting management; They stated that they had difficulties in getting teachers and other personnel to work in terms of their relations with teachers, that they had little and could not use their leave, and that they had long working hours. He also stated that they experience mental and emotional exhaustion in management, and that although the majority of the participants express that returning to teaching is a gain, they will return to management in the following years or if the job description of the manager is made. In this sense, it is noteworthy in terms of research that the reasons for leaving the management and the lack of a full management job description are more dominant. The results of the research were discussed in relation to the related literature and some suggestions were presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
