Impossible work life balance - Special Education Teacher Seattle Public Schools Employee Review

- systemically understaffed (the budget team assumes the incoming class of kindergarten students will not have any special needs students and therefore decreases the FTE of the SPED team at most elementary schools by 1 teacher each year. It saves the district money but screws over the students and the teachers) -There is a lot of cultural pressure to over give and burn yourself out for the kids. -The way to rise in the ranks is to tow the company line and not make waves.
