Can I continue teaching???

I am a teacher in Canada. Lately I've been wondering how much longer I can be a teacher.

These last 2 years have been hard. I see things that I've worked for and believe in being pushed aside by others who think they have the new answer. In some things, they are right; the new idea is great and I'm happy to be part of it. In other things, they are off-base and ignoring what others know from experience. Sometimes it honestly is a matter of: "Been there, done that... so why are we trying it again when there has been no change to the idea or method or circumstance?"

I love trying new lessons and topics and teaching styles and technology and innovation. But I am being pushed to teach in a way that seems to me to be unproductive and inferior. I don't know if I'll be able to do anything about it.

In the past I've seen experience and innovation blend and work side by side.

I don't see that now.

It's sad.
