Confronting the Unseen Battles of Teaching: Resilience Amidst Violence, Censorship, and Burnout
Send us a text
When the unspoken perils that haunt educators come to light, it makes for an episode that's as raw as it is enlightening. Kelly, a seasoned middle school language arts teacher, joins me in a powerful reflection on the adversities that place teachers on the front lines of a battlefield we seldom speak of—our own classrooms.
The career of a teacher is at a crossroads, with many finding the path leading away from the passion that once called us to this noble profession. I share my personal crossroad, stepping away from the chalkboard in pursuit of balance and a breath of fresh air for my family. Our dialogue traverses the terrain of undervaluation, the encroaching challenges of 'lawnmower parenting', and the teacher shortages that leave classrooms in crisis. It's an exploration of the urgent transformations required to rekindle the spirit of education and to hold space for the educators and librarians across the nation who share our journey.
