I could write a lot about this. I teach in a high-needs, rural school that presents obvious challenges of students that lack supplies and parents that don't value education but the most frustrating thing to me is teaching in a broken system that hasn't evolved with the rest of the professions. Its challenging to get colleagues on board with tech literacy and it's hard to implement initiatives if administrators aren't supportive or too bogged down with discipline. I go to a few conferences each year and find them inspiring and rejuvenating but then I have to return to the broken system with 0% chance of changing things so I end up doing the changes in my own classroom instead.
