hits home

I teach in an inner city school in Houston and it hits home with the difficulties of this profession. Although I get a pretty good salary compared to the teachers in this documentary, the workload is just overwhelming when you try to teach with the high standards expected of us (we're asked to do more for the same pay every year).

The fact that the country wants more out of education, but is not willing to invest the money needed to attract and keep teaching talent is proof enough that this country doesn't value it's educators.
