What teaching is really like—straight from a pro

Lunchbox says teaching is easy, but Holly, a retired New York teacher with 35 years in the classroom, set the record straight. She described the real challenges—being disrespected, underpaid, and even physically hurt on the job. Holly reminded everyone how quickly parents realized teaching wasn’t simple during COVID, and how most teachers work second jobs just to get by. The idea that teachers just hand out worksheets?

Let’s talk about it. #Education #TeachingTruths #EducationMatters
