TRIGGER WARNING : The article you are about to read contains disturbing content and may trigger an anxiety response, especially in those who have a history of trauma. Imagine having a negative bank account while still having to pay tens of thousands of dollars in student loans for the music school you recently graduated from.

But such is the case for many educators, like Los Angeles middle school band and orchestra music teacher Ms. Laura-Ruby Diaz. As most of the world already knows, 2020 has been abysmal; from the outbreak of the pandemic, economic devastation, political division, and racial civil unrest, everyone is suffering in one way or another. However, educators will bear the brunt of it as they are fighting a war on two fronts; against parents who want their children in school and administrators who are buckling under political pressure to reopen schools to the detriment of everyone’s health.
