I am a teacher in Puna. I would never advise any teacher from the mainland to come here and attempt to teach. Kids are a pain, admin is worthless and fellow teachers have their own little world and never come out to see what is going on.
Hmmmm.... I have a neighbor that sounds like you.
Teaching can be a thankless profession I am sure. Admin can be difficult at best. Parents can be ove rinvolved or not involved at all. Kids well kids are kids. Not perfect. I am really glad though that some of our teachers stay despite the obstacles.
To all you out there who teach - my thanks.
