...from a young first time teachers perspective.
I found it both sad, and interesting...and about what I expected.
How do you teach children with no discipline, no family support, no support from the school system, and a administration more worried about covering their ass than teaching students to read.
None of this is a surprise to me. In huge bureaucratic systems like corporations, the military, and the school system, vast energy is expended checking the correct boxes and writing the correct memos to insure you cannot be blamed. That's what is most important ... everything else is secondary.
It's a long read ..but worth it for the insight it provides if you are interested.
