"Anyway, the days kept coming. The students were getting more and more desensitized to school. Meanwhile, those new regulations meant that I had a whole lot more paperwork to do. I'll tell you what, spending all day teaching students just to go home and spend all night preparing for the next day takes a lot out of you. Then, when you do go back to school, the children don't even want to be there. I do what I do because I want to help them learn and grow, but... well, when they aren't passionate, it's hard for me to be passionate. It doesn't help that their grades were slipping across the board, too."
