I got into the field education because I was disappointed by the generation before me when I was a student. Now, the elders in the field continue to disappoint me.

Of course there are exceptions to this rule, but the exceptions prove the rule.

Time and time again, I have been disappointed with people who are older than me in education workplaces. I have worked in admin and in the classroom. I have also studied education, and have a degree in education.

Can anyone relate to this?

I have experienced a refusal to stand in solidarity with me and my rights as a human being. I have experienced a refusal to mentor me. I know not everyone needs to like me, but I am talking a targeted personal attack. I am talking slander and manipulative gossip. It is older people acting childish, and they should feel ashamed of themselves. They should lift up the younger generation of teachers. They should take them aside and give them advice. They should not react aggressively when a younger person shows confidence. This world is messed up and we need to come together to make education better for all.

So of course, I am so disappointed with the government. I am worried about public education.

Growing up, I was disappointed with teachers who were so mean. I wanted to grow up and be better than that. I just ended up seeing a world where people work in education, but they actually hate children and hate humans. I have seen people tear each other down instead of lift each other up - when it would be better for the children to lift each other up.

So, I am tired of this and want none of it. That is why I am putting this own there. I don’t know who relates. I don’t care if I am alone either. I know this is what I have experienced.
