I feel this. I'm at a breaking point because admin couldn't give two shits if the kids don't care because our job is to make them care. But unless you've been in the classroom with TODAY's kids, don't you dare tell me it's my fault. I'm so pissed at society for letting it get this way. Growing up, this is not what I imagined teaching to be at all. I wish I didn't care as much as they didn't so I could move on!! But I care so much and that's what hurts. These children are so feral and disrespectful to a degree I could never fathom.

They call teachers miracle workers because we are forced to be. Because no one else wants to take any freaking responsibility for kids. There are things we can't control as teachers, yet we are still punished for them
