Scenario

When couples disagree about staying in or leaving teaching careers

My partner and I are both teachers in different districts and we keep having the same fight about whether to stay in public education or leave - they think we should stick it out and try to change things from within while I'm completely burned out and feel like we're just enabling a broken system. We can't seem to talk about our future without it turning into an argument about whether we're abandoning our students or sacrificing ourselves.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people committed to education are discovering their different responses to systemic dysfunction are threatening both their relationship and their sense of shared purpose.
