sigh. Maybe that's why I'm disliking my job so much lately. It matters -- a lot -- but we're continually asked to do more with less. I'm a public school teacher, and worrying more every day. How can I educate these kids if they're not fed? Clothed? If their parents encourage them to misbehave, teaching them that it's cool? 
Rough day at school -- I am rethinking my career, big time.
