  6. Differentiation doesn’t occur
  7. Children are spoken to harshly
  8. Parents aren’t available for meetings
  9. Homework isn’t completed
  10. Students need more
  11. I am feeling defeated
  12. I can do so much more, but aren’t allowed to
  13. Parents need a voice
  14. Students need a voice
  15. Students need their accommodations
  16. Teachers need to collaborate
  17. I work on weekends
  18. The list goes on and on
  19. I don’t feel like I make a difference at all anymore
  20. It’s all about the numbers ….
