“There comes a time when silence is betrayal.”
- MLK
And that may be the most disturbing item of this report. Elected officials letting those comments stand without retort.
There are over 66,000 educators in TN. Add in their families, extended families, friends, college professors….. our impact is huge. We must be the voice for our children when elected officials don’t step up to support public ed. #teachersmatter
Let me get this straight… Our public educators have been underpaid and under-equipped for years, forced to be frontline workers during a pandemic, called “groomers” by politicians..
The vast majority of teachers have huge hearts and are in education because of their commitment to our children.
To argue that they are bottom of the barrel is wrong & ignorant. The guy from Hillsdale doesn’t speak for any Tennessean I know. https://t.co/2aVGhPeGKJ
There are 66,406 public school teachers in TN. That’s who your friend’s words disparaged, while you sat by nodding. That’s a lot of people… that’s a lot of voters. In my opinion, that’s pretty dumb. @GovBillLee@TEA_teachers#TeachersofTwitter#teachersmatter
Day 2 of 3 - Chester County school leaders continue the hard work of aligning their feedback so that students can ultimately benefit. Grateful to serve as a thought partner. Our state’s schools are in great hands with leaders like this! @kilzert2@NIETteach
