Our schools are like an army whose best soldiers, year after year, are deserting. Give teachers secretaries or teacher assistants. College professors have teacher assistants. A lawyer, a doctor, or an accountant has a secretary. Reduce the workload.
Most schools have six or seven periods and the teachers teach five or six classes.
Any teacher would be far more effective teaching three or four classes, instead of five or six. Just as my departure hurt other parents' children, the problem has now come back around to hurt my children. Until recently he had a wonderful teacher who was patient with him, worked hard, and related well to the kids. Unfortunately for us, she got pregnant and just had a baby. She'll never work 65 hours a week again because she'll want to spend time with her own child.
