What happens when you return to the district you loved — the one where you student taught, the one that felt like home — only to be thrown into a job with no training, no access, and no support? In this raw and honest episode, I share the story of being set up to fail as a new SPED teacher, punished for being resourceful, and pushed out for asking the very questions he should’ve been encouraged to ask.

This one’s for every new teacher navigating a broken system, for the ones quietly struggling behind closed doors, and for anyone who’s ever wondered, “Is it me… or is this whole setup backwards?”

Real talk, hard truths, and a reminder: you’re not the problem.
