Great list and I think very true.

I was a teacher of chemistry. Did not get bothered by administrators on subject matter. I am sure

they knew next to nothing. But my time with students became less over the years because more time was needed for sports, and testing, and meetings. And I saw dumbing down and a push to give better grades for less work. I've been retired for almost 20 years but still miss my students and subject matter

Retired???

From teaching, or just from “the grind”???

Retired from teaching and the grind.

I still try to educate by sending copies of articles to people I think might be interested
