“I’ve been teaching for more than two decades and I’ve felt despair like I have in the past few years. There is no support, either from admin or parents, or society for pushing kids to think or even put their phones away for a few minutes to engage in discussion, much less to grapple with hard subjects. The state of mental health is terrible both for students and teachers. I keep saying that I’d love to teach again, instead of trying to deal with crises and apathy that are endemic to society but only being addressed by classroom teachers.”
