When trying to hash out logistics about returning to school regarding COVID, parents in my district also openly spoke at board meetings about how we (the teachers) were on vacation during remote learning, and if we didn’t want to come back (you know, despite it being a global pandemic), we should get new jobs (this was back a year or so ago). My master’s degree and 17 years of experience are apparently meaningless. I’ve been actively trying to transition to a new career for months now.” —Tryasimight
