Denial letter!
GM:
Girl it sounds like you need a break. This too will pass. Finish up the end of the school year and then re-evaluate. What about teaching a night class at the local community college? A friend of mine picked up a gig like that and made some good money. I second the tutoring idea as well. Especially for students preparing for ACT's or SAT's. Weird idea coming, but what about a part time summer gig with the parks service?
Also, you keep in mind why you wanted to be a teacher! My best memories are of a few of my teachers in middle school. I still remember them to this day. You teach for a love of learning and a love of the children (at least I hope so). Don't let the bureaucracy get you down!
Ohh, and I advocate the SCREAMING - just do it where noone else can hear!
