As a classroom teacher of 34 years...the true enemy of Public Education is the administration via the Department of Education. Policies that are liberal to the core. Teachers can not really teach anymore. It’s all checking of certain boxes to fulfill an agenda. And you don’t dare speak out or discipline anyone or anything. You will be blacklisted and end up with a classroom in a closet with over 40 kids, evaluated every day by your 8 bosses and hounded every day to do this and that. I left the big city, Omaha, and am ending my career in a small rural town. LOVE IT. No nonsense old school approach. LOVE IT. Of course I took a 40% pay cut. WORTH IT.
