Across the country, teachers are reporting to their unions and principals what they describe as a list of accruing traumas from their classrooms. From disruptions to hallway melees to pushy parents to anxieties around censorship and the increasingly political nature of their jobs, many educators say they are starting this school year on edge.

In D.C., the Washington Teachers’ Union says its members noticed an uptick in physical violence last school year, both between students and against staff. That reality is making it harder to teach in schools nationwide, educators said, because they are spending more time calming disruptive children and less helping students work through the academic material.

When the kids have more rights than the teachers, cannot be punished for virtually anything short of a felony crime, of course teachers feel they have no control over their classrooms.
 
How soon it is forgotten how parents were SCREAMING for schools to be open when the closed during the pandemic. How they needed the social structure and the teachers to do the job parents couldn’t.

Teaching is hard... That's an interesting list...I'll have to take a look at the article...
But if they're teaching...and being allowed to teach...and being supported...they should be fine...It's kind of early to be giving up/complaining already...;)

I think that was more about parents wanting their 'free' daycare facility reopened than anything...
