I agree. I know lots of teachers - both of my daughters, in fact - who are frustrated with social advancement to keep kids with their age group, spending two months teaching to maximize state test scores, and the rest of the time acting as both parent and social worker.
That’s pretty much it. I turn 55 this year. I might take a very small pension (if there still is one after all this) and leave the field. Buy a little farmhouse in southern Indiana and plant a garden. I don’t know. It’s disheartening.
