Parallel reposted this
Teacher burnout is real, and it’s taking a toll on both educators and the students they work tirelessly to inspire each day. Teachers are the backbone of our society, yet they are facing unprecedented challenges that have pushed the profession to a critical point. Thank you to The Wall Street Journal for shedding light on this pressing issue. One quote that particularly resonated with me: “Across multiple data points, we see that the health and the state of the teaching profession is at or near a 50-year low,” said Matthew Kraft, a professor at Brown University. This isn’t just a statistic—it’s a wake-up call. At Parallel, our services are designed not only to help students thrive but also to lighten the burden on teachers, giving them the space to focus on what they do best: educating the next generation. #specialeducation #teachers #teacherburnout #education Give the full article a read here:
