Teaching is not a profession for the weak. The hours are long, the pay isn’t enough, and the rewards can sometimes seem nonexistent. Do you know what this does make the job good for, though?

‘I am embarrassed for his teacher’: Parent complains about nonsensical grading rubric for eighth grader son’s school project
One problem that every kind of teacher has to try and solve is how you capture and keep the attention of a class. What might work in one year totally fails the next. If you’ve been in the profession for a long time, Gen Alpha might not be captivated by the same tactics as millennials …
