I hate to sound like an old fuddy duddy, but the game has changed.

Never have one kid in the room with you, and avoid situations that would look suspect to a passerby.

In general, being independent is so liberating, you get to create without someone looking over your shoulders.

Teachers literally break down at the thought that if their students have a bad a test day, their job is on the line.

I was taught from a young age that as a teacher, especially a male, you are to never be alone with a female, or even a male student.

I have friends with deals, both major and indie, and the ones on majors never seem as happy, and quite frankly aren't making music as strong as those on independents.

People with education get out of the classroom as soon as they can and jump into administration or higher ed, there just needs to be some motivating factor for teachers to stay in the classrooms and excel. It's that simple.
