I’m a teacher who quit to homeschool my kids. There are a million factors in this, but one of my biggest reasons was I wasn’t allowed to “teach” because it was so test focused and had no support from admin. The day I decided I was done was when a student threw a chair at me, and admin decided the best punishment was to let him color and give him a sucker. That same week I got in trouble for allowing my kids extra time at recess because heaven forbid 5 year olds move their bodies. The system is broken.

You should have went to a public school board meeting and let the board know. Basically embarrassing them in front of parents by asking politely for supplies. They could have easily taken a $20 pay cut per week for your supplies. Everywhere I have lived the superintendent, school board, etc makes too much money for the job they're doing, but they're the ones that vote the amount to pay themselves. Added. (Ideas for those in the same situation) Write an article in the editorial of the local paper stating more money is needed for sanitation/cleaning at the school. Spend a couple of hours in front of the local grocery store asking for money for supplies. Take pictures of your current supply closet to show the situation. If it came down to raising people’s taxes or a few people throwing a couple of bucks in the pot, I'm sure people would put a buck or two in the pot. There are so many creative ways to raise money. I'm not sure if you need to the board or principal in charge to get permission though.

Change the funding for public education from being based on property taxes (which under funds Urban areas with lots of renters and over funds suburban areas) to an income tax system. All employers must then take a portion out of all employees wages to fund public education - just like Medicaid or Social Security. Then the funding gets distributed but district student population size and every state is required to keep a portion of funding to ensure all their school infrastructure is up to acceptable standards. If all citizens have a stake in funding the education of the next generation, they might not take it for granted.

I’m a teacher who lives in Canada. And I can remember when I was talking to a teacher from Wisconsin about how she had to pay for her private healthcare coverage and then I thought how lucky I was because I had all my basic coverages already paid for under our public system. Not only that, our top salary in the province of Saskatchewan is $104,000 if you get your masters degree. Do we have funding problems in our province? Yes. Do any teachers have to take on a second job? absolutely not.

I’m a newly supply TA and lemme tell you, going from school to school, child to child it’s a mental headache. You have to get a read on a child’s personality, HOW they learn, their behaviour, WHY they are acting that way, their usual routine, every minute detail about a class and the children in it, what does their usual teacher teach them? How do they teach them? Do they require a lot of positive reinforcement, do they require a calm out corner? What is something that makes a child upset, who is their friendship group? What’s the dynamic? Have they had supply teachers before? What was their relationship like with the previous supply teacher?(bc yes that has an impact on the children). Do the children connect with you? How will they connect with you? And on top of that, how does the SEN child work? Do they have a corner to themselves? Who is their SEN teacher? What resources do they need? Do the class have a good relationship with the SEN child? There’s so many more things to consider when teaching so when the gov say “hey you random person with no teaching background, teach these kiddos and then we’ll wonder why our children are all over the place !!” It’s annoying to say the least, we are educators with degrees BECAUSE children are COMPLEX and malleable, they absorb every new change in their life and shouldn’t be tossed around to people who don’t know how to make simple Maths and English even simpler.

Sometimes ill informed people would remark that grade 1 was the easiest to teach, and it got harder to teach kids the higher the grade level. My mum's answer was always the same. Can they already read when in higher grades, do they know how to be away from mum for 7 hours without melting down, do they know how to sit still for a couple of minutes at a time, do they know how to work and play well with others, etc? Each grade has it's challenges, and it's never an easy job.

And a lot of what they need they just can’t get, support, supplies, etc etc. Teachers spend the money they make teaching buying supplies for kids and their classrooms. It’s so much more than pension and government loans. Of course there are problems there but those are not the issues your kids are gonna have to face because the so called govt doesn’t want to fund the education system. If we are working a job, shouldn’t we have all the tools to do said job provided for us? Lots of teachers have second jobs.

I recently mused about going back into teaching, and here's what I found: salary offerings were where they were 10 years ago, in some cases less. Especially with lesser benefits than once offered, and a retirement that I quite frankly I see as about as reliable a guarantee as social security, where's the carrot? So here's the thing: We CAN to an extent complain about "nobody wants to work!" post peak COVID in regards to people not returning to the jobs and incomes they were working before the incentivized unemployment during the quarantines and such. However, we CAN'T complain about people not wanting to work when they're not being offered livable wages for full-time jobs. ESPECIALLY when there is such a huge income gap between the top of large corporations and the workers in those same corporations. If we keep consolidating the wealth of our economy where the majority of our citizens are struggling through "a tough economy" while the tax exempt and subsidized super-wealthy see their own numbers continue to hit record highs unphased. THAT is where the problem is with the currency flow of our economy.

I teach at a private school with a weird system so I teach 6 classes (with 4 different curriculums) and I am the yearbook advisor despite being woefully underqualified, being fresh out of college. They’re also trying to get me to be in charge of communications which is not what I signed up to do (in fact, it should be an entirely separate job altogether). The principal is looking for contract teachers to take a class from me so I can focus more on my Master’s. I’m lucky to have even that much support from admin but if this is how it’s gonna be, I really don’t know how I’ll survive for another year.

She again transferred to another public school that she loved. Now she has gotten her masters in counseling. And just started her first position out of the classroom, and as a school counselor, and is really liking it, so far.

As a child of a former teacher I completely overstand where these teachers are coming from. When former President George Bush JR signed the No Child Left Behind Act he essentially diminished the role of teachers and the department of education. Teachers are no longer required to be educators and prepare students to learn it’s now simply about can a student pass a test or not. So teachers have basically stopped teaching students and are simply preparing them for tests. The requirements to be a teacher have lessened and thus the pay and benefits have been lessened. It’s been an increase of teacher and student related sexual relationships especially at the high school level and that’s because when you have 21, 22, 23, 24 year old teachers amongst high school students who are only a few years younger than them things Will inevitably happen. The education system in this country is broken and I don’t see how it can be fixed and COVID certainly didn’t help things either.

School does not always equal *skill* . And the heart of a teacher is not something you can acquire. I've trained a lot of teachers and I have learned that MANY people who are "qualified" on paper are just not teachers. And even more who are gifted but not in possession of a degree. I don't think it's fair to imply that someone without a degree does not recognize or respect what it means to teach. Also, college is 100% a choice. 100%. So the debt...was chosen. The time invested... was chosen. I suspect that at least a little piece of the upset is actually connected to bitterness over that debt. Gatekeeping something that is a *gift* because someone got where you are- STILL NEEDING TO LEARN ENOUGH TO BE CERTIFIED- but without jumping through as many hoops.
