There are many rules to protect the welfare of students, but is there anything in place to protect the educators? With the abuses heaped towards teachers nowadays, is there anything in place for us?

I have the same concerns, but regarding physical and verbal abuse from students on IEPs.

It is sad. I totally understand teacher burn-out and trauma related teacher issues. I can't imagine having a HS student with the same verbal and physical abuse with the added entitlement.

I have asked myself the same question. Last year I had a parent emailing me on the weekends and very late at night always disgruntled about something. So happens she wanted the district to pay for private school claiming we weren’t doing our job. Took us to court and lost, in the meantime she made my life a living hell.

I respond sometimes and sometimes I don't over weekend or in evenings. My students contact me too on Remind or Classcraft. But, for anyone that tries to complain I point out the school policy which is that teachers will respond within 2 work days.

I’m in a private school and often wonder if private school teachers should unionize.

You do! Your local union should provide you with this info, or check in with your NJEA regional office.

Making a lot of money relative to the average but feeling poor? Median after-tax income was ~$55,000 in 1981 and was ~$73,000 in 2020. Using a Bank of Canada inflation calculator $55,000 in 1981 is equivalent to ~$165,000 today, which would put someone in the top 10% of earners today. But in 1981 the median family had that extra money. Who can I blame?
