Thank you from Nevada
You’ve put into words what I’ve tried so hard to explain to others. I was a teacher for 19 years, and left the profession 2 years ago. One of the best revelations I had was when I realized that I AM indeed replaceable, and I was ready to be replaced. I left for all the reasons you’ve spoken about. I’m happier and less stressed than I’ve ever been. I’m dealing with some left over trauma, but it gets better every day that I’m away from the classroom. I’m currently in a transitional job while I figure out next steps. I love kids and I thought I’d teach forever. I was “Teacher of the Year” once, and nominated many times. And yet, now I feel a brief moment of anxiety every time I pass a school. How sad is that? This is an important podcast. Everyone should listen. From, A former teacher in Nevada

Greatly enjoyed the series. Worked in education for 35 years as a school counselor. Saw this phenomenon happening in recent years - in many layers of the educational field.
