Countdown

There are two days left in this work year. We go on vacation starting Friday. Currently, the kids are fine. It is the teachers who need the break. We are told constantly that we aren't doing enough or not the right thing. Sometimes I wonder why we don't rise up and fight back. But when you are told something long enough, it almost seems true.
With the appointment of a new education secretary who seems truly anti-teacher and anti-collective, I am scared and sad. Does this mean another 8 years of feeling like we just aren't cutting it?
