Are You Still Teaching in Newark?

"I had no idea if I was going to be good at this or not. I still don't know if I'm good at this," she says of her new job as a teacher in Newark, New Jersey. "The first year is tough. You just don't know what to expect." She adds: "All admins in those schools kind of are trained to tell you everything you're doing is wrong and not good enough" 'If they treat you poorly, monopolize all your time and pay you like shit,' the triangle can work against teachers who love their jobs - but it's hard for them when morale isn't high.
