Oh my goodness Neh, I'm just wondering how we teachers can fit everything in.

We are called upon to be everything, yet we have the same number of hours in the day as you do.

I disagree with you on so many issues..

Here in Australia at least, we do teach financial literacy.

We do teach interpersonal skills.

We do work on social skills.

A lot of this is woven into our programs, because, as I say, we have the same number of hours in the day as you do.

There are so many teachers leaving the profession these days due to burn out, due to over-the-top expectations by people who have very little appreciation of the demands placed on teachers.

I know you are young. But please try to have some sympathy for all the good teachers who are doing their best to fit everything in in their already overcrowded curriculum. That's a fair call.
