Oh absolutely, I just wonder if the teacher subreddit is a realistic sample of the entire country. I’d imagine there would be more disheartened, abused teachers drawn to social media to vent. Kind of like how the parenting sub Reddit is primarily parents at their wits end.

I’m inclined to believe that the problem is more widespread than not, though. These are federal based incentives and policies influencing every district. There also seems to be a clear shift in parenting attitudes over the past 20 years.
