[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I dont' think the problem is the hours or the days off.  For me, the biggest issue is that we as teachers are constantly held responsible for things that are out of our control.  COVID and the reaction of schools being the latest thing on that list. Before COVID it was poverty, children who don't speak English expected to perform at the same levels as children whose parents constantly seek outside tutoring.

We are held responsible for behaviors from children that are insane, curriculum issues etc etc.  We are the ones held responsible for all these factors when we have no control over them.   
It has to stop.  We get little support for these things and are typically told we are to blame and to be more reflective in our teaching to get better results.
It is a trauma bond at a certain level and that is what is causing the burn out.  [/quote]

Our school’s reaction to Covid was directly controlled and held hostage by our teachers unions. I will always hold them responsible for a significant portion of our kids learning loss. Always. Many in our state only went back into the classroom because the governor mandated it and said virtual learning would not count as learning hours. [/quote]
