I know three teachers. All of them left the classroom for other professions not because of the kids but because of the culture and bs. One was from ss Chicago. They are good people and I’d be proud to have my kids in their class but I see what’s left and I am not impressed. Our local (city) elementary lost 12 teachers in one year.
Our school board member openly returned my email stating that there is “systemic racism.” Without too much detail the subject was about forced “integration” because my neighborhood is “racist.” We made an economic decision to live here and work for what we have. These are not people who will have the minds of my children.

A system designed to push good folks out. Former teacher here. Now just teaching my own.
