One left teaching all together for a corporate job that paid better and had better benefits without dealing with helicopter parents. Straight up loved teaching, loved her kids, but the parents can fuck right off.
Another is a special needs teacher with twenty years experience and is seeing her budget slashed because the school district just built a huge new high school to consolidate three other school buildings into. Fancy sports complex, too. Oh and she has 20% more kids next year without a teaching assistant.
The third is resigned because they had a kid who has some behavioral issues and has grabbed her breasts and buttocks multiple times without the administration supporting. I’m sure there’s a lawsuit brewing there.
So at any point, feel free to attend your school board meetings and vote for school board members… it won’t fix funding or senior level leadership issues. State governments will reneg on funding when a new administration gets elected, and we’ll continue to get property tax levies to shore up the budget shortages.
I know three public school teachers personally.
