Others have posted extensively, so I’ll add something that may not be popular but is crucial to remember:

Teachers, and the best ones at that, do and should draw boundaries. And a good public would endorse and s even support these boundaries. Because most know what it is like to labour under the yoke of an oppressive master, or an oppressive regime. And they know that even though it is normalised and widespread, it’s not right. Though there may be periods of excess, ongoing unsustainable workload is a sign either of uneven distribution or unnecessary additions (you all know what I’m talking about).

We know that if we all do our part, every aspect of life, not just our children’s education, would thrive.

God, because He’s always with me.
