Sometimes I feel like my coworkers are in another world. Their lifestyle is so different from mine and they are not even the same age as me. How do you relate to your coworkers?

Most of mine are within 7 years of me age wise- older and younger. We get along fine. I am
A little bit “old school” and I am not afraid to be honest about it. We all have slightly different lifestyles and I would only call 2 of them my friends. The rest are professional colleagues. To be honest, we are all so busy at work, we rarely have time to socialize. We all run our classrooms differently which I think is awesome because some of our kids spend 3 years in integrated preschool. They get to experience what each of us has to offer!

I think I am just speaking out of frustration right now, but I feel like I am in a completely different ballpark than many of my coworkers. It seems like corporations are weeding out dedicated teachers who have taught for years, and replacing them with TikTok fanatic, let's-have- a-party, social influences. Maybe I'm just jaded right now!

Lots of right wing hysteria about liberals trying to engineer equality of outcome to correct sexual/racial inequities (in higher ed, for example).

This is just a straw man argument.
