Trigger warning: discussion of school violence/shootings.

This week, Molly fulfills an episode request with a solo episode including insight from past and present teachers as to why the field has become increasingly difficult in recent years, diminishing the mental health of those in it. She discusses why this is happening, including issues such as an uptick in disengaged students, defensive parents, a push in regulations and standards, low pay, and violence in the school setting. Molly also provides resources teachers can utilize to connect with others in the field and practice self-care.
