My wife is also an educator and given what she's shared with me over the years, everything you stated is correct. One additional element that has directly affected my wife and some others in her profession is the willingness of School Admin to gaslight and verbally "punish" teachers who step out of the invisible boundaries.
My wife has also been a Registered Nurse for 20+ years. If she makes a medical, psychological, emotional observation about a child and relays it to the principal, the school is more concerned how they may now be financially on the hook.
According to Admin, it's easier to let the kids suffer without proper care than to financially risk getting the kids the help they need. It's clear that the threatening responses she's received from Admin are composed by their legal team and not anything the principal or Superintendent have the ability to create. Nothing ever comes of these "threats" as they can't risk the exposure in court, at the School Board Meetings or on Social Media.
You speak the truth Kin.
