About this listen

Teaching is becoming increasingly difficult. No, there's a better way to put it. Our precious profession is unpredictable. Each year is more challenging than the last. Students are more unhinged under the influence of influencers who subscribe to selfishness and irresponsibility. Parents, whether affluent or under the influence, have yet to develop a real sense of cooperation with the humans who agreed to build a solid academic foundation for their children. Yet, these are only some of the worst obstacles teachers must navigate.

This audiobook examines multiple elements causing teachers to lose their paradise. A classroom should be a true haven created by educators, allowing learners to explore the deepest recesses of their minds to achieve a higher understanding of the world, but most importantly, themselves. Things such as reading and math are merely tools people use to innovate and create things limited by their imagination. However, this is only part of the reality.

Education has become a regressive institution, creating protective environments to generate degenerates. With laws and statutes in place in the hands of many admin's hands behind their backs, clever children are taking advantage of indulging in behavior that would usually get them arrested. Despite these odds, all hope is not lost.

As you listen to the anecdotes and analysis in this audiobook, you'll find the problems well stated, with solutions offered based on my observation and experience. This may not be the best education, but it's the one we currently have. We can improve it or evacuate the premises as quickly as possible. This career is not for the faint of heart. There is no shame if you leave.

For those who stay, like many complex tasks, the spoils of war are great.
