And our responsibility is always growing. The other day, we had one person supervising 100 kids at recess. Our pay doesn’t reflect what we do, especially with inflation and a recession coming. Food and rent are expensive. I have my children and grandchildren to take care of, and it’s difficult to survive with this pay; after taxes, you have nothing left.
