Why you started

How many times have you stopped midday and thought, “This is not what I signed up for?”

You went into teaching because you cared about kids, because you wanted to create those aha moments where it all clicked. You wanted to hear laughter, spark joy, and marvel over what a young mind can imagine. But teaching hasn’t been about that at all. Instead, it’s about compliance and test scores and jumping through hoop after hoop. Frankly, it’s stressful for you, boring for the students, and—unsurprisingly—not fostering real learning.

There has to be a better way, right? We agree.

Primer puts teachers like you back in the driver’s seat
