Ugh. I’m so sorry, Ryan. Our country’s apparent loathing of public education is gutting.
Salt Lake District just announced the closure of four elementary schools that will greatly impact class size in remaining schools and force students to leave their friends and familiar environment (much like you will have to do).
As a result, many parents are looking to alternatives. I’ve had the same instinct but then recognize what you pointed out—that our kid would wind up in a bubble while the majority of his Title 1 classmates continue to get swept aside. It’s a shit situation. All I know is that wherever you land is lucky to have you! Keep fighting the good fight 💪🏼
It's painful to hear about another hit to public school funding, but simultaneously reading your reflections on teaching are extremely inspiring to me. I know it's going to be a difficult road moving forward but I hope your great capacity for giving a shit stays steadfast. As a fellow teacher it moves me a great deal. P.S. you're hilarious and make me laugh!!! Been reading your blog for years and am so thankful for your perspective.
Geez, Ryan. I’m so sorry. I hope you land a good teaching gig — that’s close to your house. I taught for 6 years. I was never very good at it. You sound much better, actually.
