How much classroom budget is there to set up a 4th grade classroom? To make it "inviting" and "warm" and "safe" and to provide "separate seating for learning centers" and "comfortable reading areas" and all the stuff that's expected by admin?
Hint: $0.
How many elementary teachers with a 45 minute planning period (or a middle/high school one with a 48 minute planning period) that's taken up multiple times a week with ARD meetings and PLC meetings, have enough time to grade the work their kids are required to complete daily?
Hint: Again none.
There are many, many more teachers out there than people in YOUR point of view.
