Just like with every group you are only hearing the loudest.

One of the biggest problems we have today is that social media normalizes the fringes. Most people do not tweet and those who do tend to be the outliers. Twitter gave a voice to those who were usually ignored by society but the media mistakenly believes that those marginal voices speak for us all.
Those teachers you see screeching on Facebook and Twitter do not represent teachers at large and if you went to their Individual schools you would find that they are not leaders there.
I have posted here about my experiences in the classroom for years. I have never claimed to be a victim, I hope it has never come across that I was. Yes, our schools have problems and teachers who are the Frontline workers there have very little voice is creating solutions for those problems. That can be frustrating but it does not make us victims.
