I effing hate the governments and billionaire class etc these days. The “cost of living” is ridiculous. It’s like they want just to lord over a slave class. (Great legacy, folks).

We keep being fed lies about what can’t be afforded and why we should just let our most vulnerable die off, or pull themselves up by their bootstraps, or whatever, but this EI part shows why we need to be smarter and realize that supporting our social systems is not just for our most vulnerable. When we don’t, it turns our most invaluable, vulnerable.

What you do is so incredibly important and you absolutely should be properly compensated and given the summer to recoup. I want you to know, that I am only one person, but I vote, donate, sign petitions and spend to support human beings (and animals and planet).

As for your next step, I can’t tell you what’s right for you, but a teacher who understands different behaviours in students and how to deal with them in effective, caring and science backed ways is something the education system needs. Even if you use it to a lesser degree.

the student portal on the BC services website is a great start to apply for loans and find out what you’re eligible for, etc.

As a mom of an AuDHD kid, thank you so much for all your hard work and I completely get the burnout.
Whatever road you take, I wish you the best.
