Family member of mine teaches in Orange, a neighboring smaller city. Same sentiment as discussed here. I believe their contract negotiations went through recently. Unsure if it’s enough to deal with the hardships of teaching. but I do know that the students have a loyalty and love like no other, family member been teaching over 30 years there and students have become our extended family at this point. Families of students in fact. It’s extraordinary to have them return and share their success, hardships, & advice.
