Hi again, Emily! Thanks for inspiring me to do some more research. I’ve written a new post, going into some more detail about teachers, professional associations, and unions. I want to be clear that I joined what I thought was a union, but in hindsight, I would say it was an illegal “company union.”
Also, Arkansas has a law requiring schools to provide first-year teachers with mentor teachers. For a little while, I had a mentor teacher. Then, she got promoted, and I didn’t get a new mentor teacher. I asked TONS of questions, but there was so much chaos, I never got clear answers. Yes, I was ignorant and naive. But no, I didn’t fail to ask questions :)
