Beaten Down But Don’t Quit
The combined pressures of No Child Left Behind and Race to the Top have been very demoralizing for teachers across the nation.
These misguided federal policies have encouraged the most rightwing forces at the state level, and in state after state, Tea Party governors and legislatures are slashing the education budget, attacking teachers’ tenure and seniority, and devising ways to outsource public dollars to private hands.
Almost everyone feels it except the politicians, who don’t seem to care.

There’s plenty of demoralization out there. I hate to call attention to it because I don’t want to encourage anyone
