I can't even begin to express my frustration this evening! I beyond astounded at this point in how one teacher that advocates and stands up for a child becomes enemy number one! A child has to transfer to another area high school due to circumstances beyond his control and all of a sudden a witch hunt begins for his teacher because she is 'encouraging children to attend another area school'.
I have been put in a situation where the decision has to be made-- do I continue to stand up for what I believe in, be the teacher that I KNOW that I am and that the kids need, or quietly stand by and watch as the steam roller continues to go over and kill the spirits of many children?
I became a teacher to help children. To teach them the things that they don't understand and advocate for those that don't have a voice! How has it come to this.... no wonder we have no teachers!
