[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I started twenty years ago, I could get my work done in 40 or 45 hours a week. I had balance.

I work 7 days a week now. It never ends. I’m always grading papers, responding to emails, and revising lessons. If I’m awake, I’m working or thinking about the work that needs to get done.

The demands of the job have grown exponentially.

As a parent, I also felt we have to enrich so much outside school. Somehow it is very exhausting to be parent in this country. [/quote]

I think that both have become so much more exhausting!

Teachers are dealing with incompetent administrators, and are suffocating under all the rules and regulations, and the inclusive model taken to an extreme. Not all kids should be in the same school.  Teachers NEED to have the power to say “no”; to a certain kid in a class that’s too demanding for them, and to a kid in school that cannot be taught in that setting, to a kid with significant behavioral issues, etc.

Parenting has become so much more demanding since the competition for literally each and every aspect of kids’ lives has exponentially increased. You just need to look at numbers to see this is true.  Unless they are massive amounts of money and/or other adults involved and invested doing the heavy lifting, your kid will be seriously disadvantaged in this hyper competitive world.  [/quote]
