I can’t take my kids out today because they have too much homework.
This is a regular occurrence on weekends. Nights are also booked around assignments. Homework is a thief of family time.

Teacher:
Plans a great hands-on, fun lesson!
Student:
Slept for 2 hours the night prior because they’re addicted to TikTok
Administrator:
Comes in and notices uninterested, tired student and comments ‘’What do you think you can do for that student to make them more interested?”

2019, that number was SURPASSED.
2020, that number AGAIN SURPASSED.
2021, BROKE ALL RECORDS making it the biggest teacher resignation year of all-time.
Question: Was anything learned?
