Teaching is Tough:
unruly, aggressive kids,
grassroots parent groups at our throats,
bans and censorship,
discriminatory and racist policy,
little to no funding,
failing, forgotten schools,
low incentive to stay,
pandemic-induced apathy,
aloof and uncaring administrators,
frozen pay scales,
the glass ceiling,
more and more testing accountability and stress,
AI replacing instructional coaches, evals, and authentic student work
increased violence and suicide,
fear of death on the job,
bullying,
defining safety and bravery in today's classroom climate,
instability on all fronts,
lotteries that leave kids out,
diminishing enthusiasm,
lost hope.
Get in touch again with what feels fun and rewarding.
