I congratulate your efforts as a young teacher in this profession. It is getting harder, not because our students are failing us, but because the system is failing our students. After 33 years in this process, I still love it. I did not quit. Based on your writing, I can note that you are here for the marathon. You are going to do great. Keep moving forward. Our students need teachers like you. 💯👍🏾🙏🏾

We should organize society, our public school systems and job training programs, around the concept of collective ownership instead of private businesses.

REMOVE MONEY, REMOVE CORRUPTION

If every worker got in exchange for their professional careers everything that they needed to have a happy, balanced life in a safe and healthy world governed by fair laws and modern practices, then our use of science and ethics to generate daily goods and services, as basic human entitlements, will have fulfilled the purpose of socialism: to ensure “universal protections for all by all” without using money anymore or national currencies to uphold private capital, maintain structural wealth, or support banks and financing and other profit-making activities.

I came here to say Thank You for this essay. I especially enjoyed you saying, in essence, that you enjoy doing things that are hard-to-do. That require weeks of thinking. I do as well, but seldom see it called out as a reason to do something, in your case, teach.
