From Burnout to Bold Advocacy: Why One Educator Walked Away to Fight for Kids


What makes a veteran teacher leave the classroom after 30 years? In this powerful episode of Special Education Boss®, Karen Mayer Cunningham sits down with Linda Glazewski—a former educator turned fierce advocate—for a raw and honest conversation about what really happens behind school doors.

Whether you're a parent, teacher, or advocate, this episode pulls back the curtain on:

What happens when teachers are ignored by admin
Why inclusion without support is setting kids up to fail
How “managing” parents is a mindset that must change
The real reason Linda said, “I’m done”—and how she started over

Linda’s story will open your eyes, challenge your thinking, and show you what advocacy looks like in action.
