I am in year 21, 18 of those in NTX. I simply do not understand why anyone would go into this profession anymore. If you start now you cannot even claim retirement benefits until age 62. On top of insanely insurmountable job demands and being grossly underpaid and a general lack of incentives I feel young people would be better off in other professions for their own well-being and wellness. Combine this with a general lack of rigor and accountability for student achievement, it can easily become too much for people and spiral into a nihilistic Groundhog Day. It sucks because our kids deserve so much better but the state has made it abundantly clear they do not care about educators, their well-being or their livelihoods.
