Well, I think it's just become
It's become something different than what it used to be.
It used to be about
Learning and there used to be also d teaching used to be a much more
um respected tradition.
Uh uh you know, in some countries uh it still is a very respected profession.
Um, you know, in some romance languages like Italian, for example, you refer to teachers usually as as sort of in the more honorific sort of voice.
And in the United States
It's become a bit of a power struggle and that's been really hard to watch.
It's it's also been very hard to live.
And I think that leaves parents confused about the relationship, and I think it leaves teachers confused about the relationship.
And that's been hard on both sides.
Yeah, so
it was
Teachers and parents sort of confused about where the lines are between home and school and who should be doing what and how much rescuing should ha be happening and how much the parents should be, you know, interfering in the process of the grading and you know, all that kind of stuff.
And
I joke about the fact that, you know, my view from my high horse as a teacher was really quite lovely.
You know, I had in my mind, you know, I was doing the noble thing as the teacher and this was about learning and blah blah blah.
And increasingly I was feeling
I for lack of a better way to say it, I was feeling really protective of my students.
