Very moving, solidifying and intrigued read. Really validates the feelings of an educator in a system where there is no support. Kelly Treleaven beautifully puts together a comforting narrative to what it feels to be an educator and how the feelings that we see as negative are not so negative but more of a reality that needs comforting to continue in a profession that is so demanding yet rewarding in the students and teachers who embrace their live and passion for teaching.
