I absolutely loved your article, and I agree with many of the points. My husband and retired from a large public school district because we knew if we didn't, we would both be dead from stress and overwork. I now teach at the college level which I love, love, love! He teaches in a rural district where sanity reigns and kids are just kids!
Thanks! I often wonder how my views would be different if I had been in a different district, or didn't have such a bad principal experience. I do really miss teaching but sadly these days so much of what a teacher does in not teaching at all. As a society we need to step up and change things for the positive, and that is not necessarily monetary, it is an overall respect and value for teachers and education that has fallen by the wayside in this society.
