‘I would love to teach but…’ ... Washington Post
"It is with a heavy, frustrated heart that I announce the end of my personal career in education, disappointed and resigned because I believe in learning."

This entire essay was dead on! Although lengthy it was well worth the read and nearly brought me to tears as I looked back at my own teaching career in NB. I'm recently retired (thankfully) and I have empathy and sympathy for the teachers. And yes, I plan to attend the rally.
Every teacher in NBPS needs to read this. It really hits home.
Such a powerful piece and it could have been written by any member of the NBEA -what a sad future for America's public school children...
Apparently the public school system isn't the only dysfunctional institution in America. This story reminds the elephant of all that check-off-the-box training I received in the 7th Infantry way back in the mid-1980's.
This is a small slice of a very long story but one of the more telling moments in my very brief military career involved a sergeant getting everyone's attention and announcing, "Anyone who did not score expert with either the rifle or the pencil will have to shoot again."
I de-enlisted at the earliest opportunity and found something better to do.
Sounds like the beginning of my own resignation letter. Devestating all the way around.
That was a very thought provoking article and reminded me that we are not alone in our situation; I still would like to know why we are receiving no media coverage from network affiliates in Boston and Providence. I realize we're not as big of a story as winter storm Hercules.....:-p
I agree with the previous blogger about the network affiliates. Shouldn't we consider having a press release sent out?
