    Meh? I’m a uni professor and I gave a subpar lecture. I really care so when I feel things don’t go well, it hits me hard. I’m very tired and stressed and can see the same in my students.

    I also want to fight back against the nonsense in my country; not sign holding, not performative nonsense, but can’t find an outlet or ally. Its frustrating feeling powerless, seeing my students scared and suffering, and feeling useless.

      I don’t know how strictly your lessons are monitored, but if they aren’t, you might be able to deviate from your curriculum sometimes, especially if all of your students are on the same side as you. This field manual is a great start for teaching creative civil resistance against an oppressive regime while minimising the likelihood that the resistor loses their job doing so.

      As a teacher you wield the power to shape young people in a magnitude that is only topped by direct family and best friends. Use it wisely, while making sure to stay on curriculum enough that your students still pass their mandatory exams.
