So it's summer vacation. Thank god. I get fed up by the end of the year and the county bs and need to be gone and recharge.
I am increasingly frustrated by education and the people making the decisions. It's not about actually teaching children and having them learn and grow. It's about assessment and numbers. Of course I don't take this quietly and am very lucky that it is super hard to fire a teacher. Of course, I also do teach my students and they do grow in their skills and knowledge. But I am also not a rule follower. I do have 13 years of excellent teaching to show and back up what I do. I want my boys to have a good base in their education. I know the teachers at my school are excellent and that right now both my kids are excited about school and learning. I will have to stick this out for 7 more years until little D is out of elementary school. Then it's on to something else. But that's a long time and maybe the pendulum will swing back to real teaching. Who knows?
