[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents are going to pull their kids. Don’t worry. [/quote]

That doesn’t mean teachers don’t still have to go in. We do. [/quote]

If you don't want to go in, quit your job.[/quote]

I’m getting through to the end of the year so I don’t leave my students in a lurch but messages like this are why I’m not returning next year. I’m well aware now how worthless and disposable we are seen as being. I don’t believe in what I do anymore now that society’s true opinion of teachers has been revealed. What we do does not matter to most people. I get it now so I can leave the job and not miss it. And I am far from the only one who will leave. [/quote]

Most of us parents don’t feel that way at all. Stop reading these message boards. I see the effort my DCs teacher puts in every single day. She is amazing and is doing the very best she can given the circumstances. [/quote]

It is not just these message boards. It’s conveyed to us in policy. In what admin expects from us. In what the priorities are. It is crystal clear neither kids nor teachers actually matter. The system is broken. I hope some good teachers can stay because my kids have many years ahead of them in school but it is impossible to give to this job the way I always did when I believed any of it mattered. The school systems don’t care about these kids. They exploit the empathy and care teachers have for their students to claim the system on the whole cares but it does not. And it damn sure doesn’t care about the teachers- nor does anyone else. Go look in any thread that talks about how am education degree is a joke. It’s clear how little value anyone thinks we contribute to anything or anyone’s life. my main function is watching kids in a building. Not teaching them. [/quote]
