Stress relief. Stress relief is my primary goal in beginning this journey. I have every reason to be happy and carefree. I have a wonderful wife and wonderful children. I have a nice place to call home on a nice little piece of land. And yet, even with all of this, I struggle with depression and anxiety in my ongoing challenge to be a better husband and father.
My stress, depression, and anxiety come from one source: public education. My father taught for 30 years. My sister has 20 years of teaching and counting. I am currently beginning up year number 15 for myself. All I ever wanted to do was to teach in a public high school. However, after over a decade and a half of seeing for myself what public education has become, the only thing I want to do now is anything other than teach in a public school at any level. What I really want is any job other than public school teacher, which will still permit me to keep my children away from public education.
I will use this blog to detail the reasons I have come to the dark place I am currently in with public education. My hope is that by putting all of this out in the open I will become better at coping with my frustrations, depression, and anxiety. I hope any feedback I receive will allow me to see other viewpoints. Also, I hope by detailing what is (and more importantly what is not) taking place in public education will allow other to make better choices for their children.
