I hear you. Teaching should be first and foremost about the
kids, but tragically it isn't, and the kids are the ones who
are suffering.

I for one may never return to the field. I had such a rotten
experience at the school district which threw me out on trumped
up charges so they could cheat me out of my retirement
benefits, I have serious doubts I would ever go back to public
education.
