A compelling read that reminds us of the urgent need to dechiffre how the private education sector subtly manipulates teachers into internalising blame for systemic failures they did not create!
Kudos to authors for giving voice a prevalent tension experienced in many private K-12 schools 👏🏻👏🏽👏🏿

For those who hold their convictions with ethical confidence, it’s often amusing to observe others loudly lamenting how the world has come to this point, echoing for me Nietzsche’s disdain for preachers. [1/3]
