Teachers are not able to tell children no.
The administration told me to lie to parents when problems arise with their children. One example of MANY: A child pushed another child into the gate and made a knot on his forehead. The administration told me to tell the parent that the child was running and fell. I told them no. So they made the phone call instead and told the parent that lie, right in front of me.
When an incident happened in our classroom, the administration came into our room and started yelling at me and the other teacher for not handling it right. The kids were watching. (A child was choking on a biscuit and I gave them the hemlock and quickly got the biscuit out.) They never let me talk to the parent.
We were paid very little
The turn over rate is ridiculous. The teacher parking lot smells like weed because that how the teachers destress.
