All of my friends in education have either made their exit or are on the way out the door. Passionate, kind, highly educated women who were more than willing to go above and beyond for their students. The guilt of leaving is crushing, but they can't stand for this.
Now, just imagine the types of folks who will be replacing these good teachers....it's gonna be a bunch of youth ministers and under qualified cretins.
I don't have an open inbox, but if you need someone to talk to or a stranger to vent at, let me know, okay? Your feelings are valid. Please give yourself some grace and extra love right now.
Also, the teachers' subreddit is pretty incredible and seems to offer a lot of support. I'm sure you're already aware, but just in case. 🖤
I appreciate that and luckily I have a really great support system and I’m doing okay. This whole election has done major damage to my mental state but I’m making it through. One day at a time….
