When educating has become resisting

There are fewer and fewer people willing to dedicate themselves to teaching. And, honestly, it's hard to be surprised. Being a teacher today is much more than entering a classroom and imparting knowledge. It is managing conflicts, enduring constant pressures, and working in a system that often seems to turn its back on them.For some time now, the school has been undergoing a profound transformation. Teachers no longer just educate: they also take on social and emotional issues that were previously outside the classroom. All this, while having to coexist with bureaucracy, lack of resources, and a growing sense of burnout.The most worrying thing, however, is the progressive loss of respect for this profession. There are still those who repeat the easy discourse that "they work little" or that "they have many holidays," ignoring the invisible hours of preparation, meetings, and corrections. Meanwhile, their demands remain the same: better working conditions, decent salaries, and a real commitment to public education.And now, given the increase in conflicts in schools, proposals are emerging such as incorporating plainclothes Mossos d'Esquadra into schools. Perhaps what education needs is not more surveillance, but more support, resources, and listening. Because when teachers and professors get tired of fighting alone, it is society as a whole that ends up losing.
