Teacher Voice!
This is an incredible podcast. I was just listening to a podcast with John Hattie and he mentioned that worldwide, the biggest problem right now in education is attrition due to teachers feeling the relentlessness of their jobs. This podcast succinctly breaks that down and helps educators, administrators, school boards and others further understand what we are up against. Despite the obstacles- all those mentioned in the series- I am staying, I am dreaming and I am continuing to push back against all that is wrong within the system. My husband, my family, my friends all ask why I stay. I have made tremendous sacrifices but, as discussed here, we educators are dedicated and the podcast is a true cheerleader of all of us! My only wish was to hear from more teachers at the elementary level - about the specific challenges of teaching younger elementary school children (lockdowns, mental health issues, angry parents who don’t believe in productive struggle, the impacts of standardized tests, the lack of autonomy and creativity…). Keep up the amazing work - and thank you!

I’ve just finished year 9 in the classroom and all of this is incredibly validating. The feelings of suicide, the comparison of teaching to an abusive relationship, the sheer emotional toll it takes. It’s all so real. It’s hard when non-teachers don’t understand, I hope this podcast can help...Read full review »
