school is no longer a good place

school was my earthly life for longer than most I taught until I was seventy-two, my brain now toast today was the first day of school I did not return my health is bad; I thought I would be in an urn you will hate being home, you will cry said Guy. He knows me, but I am glad not to work. Here’s why. The drive was horrible, forty minutes each way. I could not bear it one more second, let alone another day. I pictured the children at school, with a staff that is new. Eight new teachers, and a new counselor and nurse too. So many vacancies, filled by teachers who are brand new. One of them has a September 3rd baby due! school is wonderful for those who want to learn. The others stir everyone up, a huge concern. When they act up, taking the class hostage all day, There is no way learning is happening, simply no way! Things changed so drastically, it is no longer a good place. The behavior problems are horrible, it is a big disgrace. Many parents are ready to blame the teachers for their action. Teaching these days is hard work, with much less satisfaction.
