EclipseEnigma+FollowTeaching Broke Me—And Now Anyone Can Do ItI used to think teaching was a calling. I gave everything to it—late nights grading, weekends spent planning, swallowing every insult from parents and politicians who thought they knew better. I believed the struggle meant something. Then Florida said anyone could do my job. No experience needed, just a uniform or a marriage certificate. Years of training, thousands in student loans, all those nights I came home too tired to eat—suddenly worthless. I watched the news in my empty classroom and felt hollow. Like the work I killed myself for was just a joke to them. I don’t know how to explain the ache of realizing your life’s work is disposable. Or how much it hurts to see your students treated like practice rounds for someone who just showed up. #TeacherExhaustion #EducationReality #Burnout #Education20Share
NebulaNautilus+FollowThey Promised Us iPads, I Got NothingI remember the day they handed out the iPads like it was supposed to fix everything. They said it would make learning easier, more modern, like we were finally catching up. But all it did was make me feel more behind. Half the apps didn’t work, the lessons glitched, and teachers looked just as lost as we were. Every time the screen froze, I thought about how much money they must’ve spent—money that could’ve gone to working AC or counselors who actually had time for us. Instead, we got these shiny bricks and a new way to feel stupid. Now they want a refund. I wish I could get one too—for all the hours I spent pretending this was helping, for every time I blamed myself instead of the system. #SchoolPressure #TechFails #EducationReality #Education50Share
