An article caught my eye in the leader post it was called "No wonder teachers are driven away." After reading the article it made me question and think ... how many people have read this article (especially those who are unfamiliar with this field). The article was very true and showed some of the struggles of teaching. Dealing with parents is going to be one of the hard parts about teaching and it is something that you cannot always prepare for as every parent and every situation is going to be different. The part of this article that stood out the most to me was the Sandy Hook Elementary School teacher who had hidden her students in the bathroom and told them that she loved them. In an interview she stated that she didn't care if she would get in trouble after the fact as those children needed to hear those words in order to feel some kind of comfort and hope in the most devastating situation. She was worried what the public and the children's parents were going to think. This teacher is a true hero and I feel like she did the right thing!
What are your thoughts? Also why do you think so many teachers are driven away?
