[Point Blank]

I’m hearing from a ton of teachers that they’ve decided they “won’t kill themselves for this profession anymore” type comments. Morale is very low.

I know a lot of very passionate and talented teachers who would sign up for every extracurricular and go the extra mile if it meant making a student’s day better. It’s very sad to see these comments because this means we’re at the end of the rope with what we can provide for students; and that’s what worries me most. When the people who have always gone above and beyond start saying ‘enough,’ it means the system has stretched them past their limits.
