#GuruPurnima chants echo online. Meanwhile in #TamilNadu, a Govt school teacher lies drunk in class—collapsed, unconscious. Culture isn’t dying. It’s being administered steady death. #TeachingCrisis #GuruPurnima #TamilNadu

The very last thing that teachers needed was to pick up the pieces of failed government policies to make our schools safe.

My wife has been a middle-school special education teacher for 25 years and this year she has spent most of the year emotionally damaged. When we met 20 years ago she was excited for every year, and showed her passion, but year on year of new initiatives (without funding or support), more aggressive parents, and discipline problems with no consequences or support, has beat her down. I don't know how to help her, but I am so sad to see her passion die.
