Please tell me if I’m being totally unrealistic.

Again, thanks for your response. I’m glad to hear I’m not way off-base. Sometimes I feel like I have a uniquely strict set of professional ethics, which often leaves me offended or outraged while others are complacent or resigned. I did just fire off a long but, I hope, rationally and diplomatically worded email to my boss’s boss. I think he’ll likely see my point but I’m not sure he’ll try to do anything about it. I have actually been thinking about seeking other opportunities and re-training. Overall, I like higher ed. I believe in it, in principle. But it was really hard to make any progress before the pandemic and now? I can only expect it to be much worse. The people who matter at my current institution made up their minds long ago about who I am and what I can do, and none of my achievements seem to move the needle. I plan to spend my furlough exploring some other fields and learning new skills. Thank again for your insight!

The people who really matter in any educational setting are the students. They’re the only ones that ever mattered. Learning at all levels has suffered because the ones who think they matter have forgotten (or never really knew) who is at the center of education. It’s an idealistic perspective but it’s the one I embrace wholeheartedly. My 14 years of middle/high school guidance counseling has shown me the truth of this fact over and over. Carpe Diem, Friend!
