Thank you so much for sharing the ball in a box grief analogy. What a wonderful way to illustrate grief. And it allows so much flexibility to encompass the different ways everyone grieves.
As a teacher, I say yes to all of this. Teachers cannot be at their best when they are worried about making ends meet or working unreasonable hours to complete tasks for their job outside of school hours. Teachers need to be paid so they don't have to think about second jobs and side hustles and they need to have their work load lessened so they can do their job well AND have much needed personal lives. Our democracy and economy are dependent on educated human beings and it starts with a strong K-12 educational system.
I completely agree with your perspective in this newsletter. I've dealt with major burnout in the past, and it's an impossible place to operate from. Teachers, nurses, and social workers are the last people who should ever encounter this. They deserve excellent wages and paid time off -- it would benefit us all.
