Why Losing Caring Teachers Hurts Us All 😢

I've seen it firsthand—when caring teachers leave, our schools (and kids!) suffer. As a recently retired teacher, here’s what I think will happen next: • Parents will freak out over rising violence & bullying—bigger classes, less qualified teachers 😬 • Kids start falling behind. Reading and math? Not at grade level. Ouch. • Desperate, parents try homeschooling—without really knowing what they’re in for. • They’ll lean on those one-size-fits-all programs (K12, etc.), but soon realize kids need real guidance. • Surprise! Kids aren’t doing the work unless someone’s watching. 🙈 • Some parents will cut back at work to help out—meaning fewer essential workers in other jobs. • Only families with enough resources can truly manage homeschooling. The gap between haves and have-nots grows. 😞 • Eventually, the government will have to step in, but if they don’t listen to actual teachers, they’ll miss the mark—again. We NEED to bring caring teachers back into the conversation. That’s how we fix this mess. ❤️ #EducationCrisis #SupportTeachers #CaringSociety #Education
