One predicaments Julia touches on here: IDEA remains an unfulfilled promise, the government has never fully funded it. And yet, it is constantly under assault. So advocates are always torn between defending the status quo and wanting to grow it.

One day I’ll write a book about how Systems are killing #doctors. Good, conscientious, caring doctors. Destroying their souls & bodies. In 2 decades they will be all gone, replaced by machines & a few humans w just enough training to do what machines & admin will ask them to do.Heartbreaking
