‘My profession … no longer
exists’

Increasingly teachers are speaking out against school reforms that they

because they have had enough.
Here is one resignation letter from a veteran teacher, Gerald J. Conti, a
social studies teacher at Westhill High School in Syracuse, N.Y.:

June 30, under the provisions of the 2012-15 contract. I assume that I
will be eligible for any local or state incentives that may be offered prior
