[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a teacher. We deal with Karen type parents, way too much paperwork and disrespectful  kids. That said, children are precious and if you’re lucky enough to have a good administrator and fair pay, it’s extremely meaningful work. 
I have missed many a night’s  sleep worried about children. I routinely spend my own money on more than supplies - food or a bag of decent clothes, school fees for kids.

I agree with all of this.

And there’s so much emotion in teaching. It can be overwhelming. A parent tore a coworker apart last week. I sat in the office for an entire period consoling her. She’s such a sweet, kind-hearted teacher with only the best of intentions. She didn’t deserve the parent’s anger directed at her, especially because she was only following policy.

But she took that weight home with her that night, as did I. And unfortunately, this happens more often now. I suspect it’s because distrust and entitlement live just below every interaction nowadays. [/quote]
