6. When I was teaching the school district simply didn't have the resources to deal with it all.

It broke me, every day every minute, school was in my head. I couldn't compartmentalize, simply go home and live my own life away from school.

As an idealistic young idiot who's own high school experience was "Lord of the Flies" I thought I could return Welcome Back Kotter style and save the world.

Saving the world is going to take money out society doesn't seem willing to spend.

The image our society projects to so many of our children is that it doesn't give a shit about them.
