The Hidden Reason You're Stuck in Education

Описание: Many teachers and librarians know that education is changing—and not always in ways that support the people doing the work. Budget cuts, political pressure, burnout, and shifting expectations have left many educators questioning whether they should stay or leave the profession. In this livestream, we’re unpacking the real reasons so many teachers and librarians feel stuck, even when they recognize the system is struggling. From pensions and job security to identity, loyalty to students, and the fear of starting over, there are deeper structural and emotional factors that make leaving education more complicated than people realize. This conversation isn’t about blaming educators—it’s about understanding the systems that keep people in place and discussing the realities many education professionals are quietly navigating right now.
