My sister the teacher wants to quit and she is a GREAT teacher.after four months, some of us working "lucky ones" are just physically and emotionally burnt out.
These "essential" front line workers such as hospital staff, first responders, grocers, maintenance crews and financial infrastructure workers have been going a million miles an hour since the lockdowns when everyone went into hiding and financial panic mode.
Workloads have been like over 200% normal volumes with 50%-75% less staff sheltering in place working remotely.
Seems like this term essential really meant sacrificial when it comes to a pandemic.
For those of us at risk essentials "required" to come in because of jobs we are responsible for everyday is a gamble where the odds gets worse for you over time as the contagion spreads due to others
This burnout is happening everywhere among those originally defined essential worker populations along with the psychological impacts they have been dealing within their occupations.
The damage done to this critical sector of society is being washed over by all the existential arguments the rest of society seems to be having among themselves.
And this population is again being taken for granted and many may not be there after all this is over for one reason or another. Then what when the next pandemic comes from wherever?
Like the PD after Floyd BLM, who would want to do these dangerous jobs for the compensation the provide?
Teachers will be next if we continue on the current path.
Say if you did have a problem with it, what other language would you speak, Irish?I have Irish ancestors. The English plundered and starved the Irish yet I have no problems speaking English
The great ancient libraries of the Middle East first cataloged knowledge of the Universe.Probably non-Europeans. Or maybe not.
But Europe created the concept of the university?
Perhaps that statement is a symptom that the larger effort to decentralize a Eurocentric shaping of the world seeks to address?
I think Peart was on the spectrum.Cast in this unlikely role,
Ill-equipped to act
With insufficient tact
One must put up barriers
To keep oneself intact

It is really tough to basically start from scratch, make the best of the new schooling, and not dwell on how awesome things used to be. Glad I haven't been teaching too long, some long timers are struggling with this new way.My sister the teacher wants to quit and she is a GREAT teacher.
My GF is contemplating a career change after this year...She's a fifth grade teacher and is more an IT director than anything right now. Sucks all the way around.It is really tough to basically start from scratch, make the best of the new schooling, and not dwell on how awesome things used to be.

- not great teacher OUT!

I think she should hold on until she gets back to the classroom before she decides.My GF is contemplating a career change after this year...She's a fifth grade teacher and is more an IT director than anything right now. Sucks all the way around.
Or if the original "reset" had never taken place, and all the knowledge before it turned into "mythology"?Library of Alexandria and Library of Ashurbanipal.
Has anyone written a good story about how much further humanity would be if we didn't loose so much of valuable information to fires/wars/purges/etc.
