The unrealistic expectations, inconsistent work conditions, worsening behavior issues, and sheer lack of support create a level of vulnerability that teachers don’t deserve. Why would this inspire any sort of loyalty among educators when they aren’t even being given the basic necessities to do this job? How can we ever expect anything to improve when the trouble trickles down from the top?
