Can confirm - my wife is a teacher and it seems every year is getting more difficult. I guess it's too soon to say how much of this is pandemic-related, either directly or indirectly, but it seems like testing, bureaucracy and parent madness (e.g. perception that the curriculum is too "woke" or not woke enough, etc.) have certainly been getting worse too. But I'm also hearing (and experiencing) increased BS in other industries. Remote work spyware (https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/08/14/business/worker-productivity-tracking.html https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/08/14/business/work...) and flawed metrics-based performance measurement. So I don't know how much of it is teacher-specific and how much of it is general nonsense.
