Education / Teaching thread

We just drove 6hrs from Houston to SoLa for Good Friday with family.. For 4hrs I heard, in great detail, all the woes and ills of my wife’s current 4th grade teaching position. IMHO, her situation is especially bad due to incredibly inept administration… they should ALL be fired, the whole lot.

Wife is NOT signing her 2021-22 contract, turning in resignation within a few days…. There are 7 elementary schools within 10min drive of our home, next yr she’ll sub at all the schools and decide which one she wants to join.. ASSUMING there will be openings once final student counts are determined and IF she wants to go back permanent.. There is nothing more my wife would love to do than teach little ones. Nnominated for teacher of the year >75% of years, turned in her paperwork once and won it… when you have someone so wholly dedicated and passionate about the profession saying they’ve had enough, something is awfully wrong.
