11. So, you are unfamiliar with what is going on in the k-12 setting.

I am also a health professional, and also teach adults. In addition, I work extensively in k-12 schools, though not in a teaching capacity. What you are describing as your teaching experience, and what I know about my own teaching experience, bears no resemblance to what I see k-12 classroom teachers being subjected to on a daily basis.

Though I have no trouble teaching adults, I would not in a million years subject myself to what is inflicted on k-12 teachers in public schools today.

And though you chose to couch it as if "I didn't know to ask" if you were an RN teaching adults, really it was just that I was trusting you, after your one somewhat evasive reply, to give a straight answer about exactly what your position was from which you dismissed the concerns of these people whose lives are being made miserable.
