Former teacher as well and this article is very accurate.
I was a successful teacher, but got out after a few years. I love teaching and miss it. To this day I still have dreams about teaching and being in the classroom. I think of former students and classes regularly. But I was sick of school. Being a teacher is no longer about teaching. It is about everything else that gets labeled school.
The schools will not change until our culture changes and parents understand what it means to be parents. There is no way the entire system can change on the backs of the teachers.
I don't mean to sound like the voice of doom, but I have very little hope for our schools.
BTW... We are homeschooling our daughter.
