Teachers are not afraid of failure, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐝 𝐨𝐟…
• False accusations
• Not being able to support their own families
• What is happening to their own mental health
• Lack of teacher resources
• The growing apathy from students
• The growing disrespect

A couple decades ago, too many school districts cut vocational programs to chase test scores and push the idea that “everyone must go to college.”
Big mistake.
Not every student needs calculus, but every community needs plumbers, electricians, and mechanics.

An educational system that ties funding to metrics like attendance and graduation rates actively incentivizes dishonesty.
With these incentives in place, a school that enforces standards by removing disruptive or dangerous students or fails kids who don’t put in effort loses funding and a school that lies and passes everyone along and keeps bodies in seats no matter what gets rewarded.

When teachers enforce rules and admin won’t back them, students don’t think they got away with something; they think rules are fake and teachers are powerless.
And they’re right.
