The policy doesn't work. The standardized test doesn't measure what matters. You're fighting a system that wasn't designed for your students — and you're fighting it alone.
This is the moment you've been building toward. Finding meaning in the work when the system seems designed to crush it — except now the stakes are real and there's no rehearsal. What you do next matters.
You've faced the hardest part. Now turn what you've learned into something sustainable — a way to set professional boundaries without feeling like you're abandoning your students not just today, but every time this situation returns.
