Educators with PRIDE Unite

[nycfem]

How many of you can relate to this article? I can. My twenty years of psych and school social work have been intensely stressful and meaningful. I like how she captured so much love for the students while still saying how damaging it was to her psyche. The experience enriches the soul and wounds it at the same time. Are there people who don't work in schools like this? With kids like this? With families like this? I can't say I've had much experience outside of this realm.
