Why is mediocrity such an epidemic in this school system?
Why is differentiation still a debated topic in staff meetings?
Why does having "high expectations" need to be defined?
Why do students come with neither pen nor paper (every day)?
What are we preparing them for?
Why do we want to be a school?
What's the point?
How do we care with purpose and urgency?
In a job that's so difficult, how come we insist on making it harder?
Why do we settle?
What does alternative mean?
Why do we do this?
Why is everyone so chill?
What can I do?
The simple fact that you are asking these questions demonstrates how seriously you take this profession. The education community needs more dedicated, hardworking teachers like you. The sad thing is that I bet the frustration you feel is the exception, not the rule. Being frustrated shows you care. Teachers who don't get frustrated shouldn't be teaching.
