- 29Why is teaching so joyless now?Strict districts mandate rigid, pre-made curricula like Savvas and ban teachers from supplementing or using their training. This strips all creativity from the classroom and forces educators to push flawed materials, leaving them exhausted, depressed, and ready to quit.
- 7Why am I always the scapegoat when someone else messes up?Organizations often blame accountants and internal staff for paperwork errors instead of addressing their own internal mistakes. This leaves workers feeling exhausted and unsupported while dealing with administrative politics.
- 5How do I know if my students actually did well on a test?New teachers receive test scores and student data without clear standards, rubrics, or aligned curricula to interpret them. This leaves educators unable to tell if students are meeting expectations, causing intense anxiety and forcing them to build assessments from scratch.
