Teaching is not only a profession, it’s the ultimate profession. It creates, it nurtures, it defines, and it supports all other disciplines and professions.
Is teaching a profession? Here’s the real definition.
A profession is defined by six things:
Specialized training
A unique body of knowledge
Clear standards and ethics
Professional judgment
Service to society
Ongoing development
Teaching meets EVERY ONE of those criteria.
So why do some people act like it’s not a profession?
Because we’ve spent years undermining the very things that make it a profession:
We scripted teachers.
We standardized everything.
We minimized expertise.
We paid professionals inadequately.
We gave more criticism than respect.
But the truth is this:
Teaching is a profession.
In fact, It’s the profession that makes every other profession possible.

🚨🚨BREAKING: Pope Leo called Vladimir Putin on October 16 and Volodymyr Zelenskyy on October 19 seeking a humanitarian ceasefire in Russian-occupied Oleshky, and Putin agreed to cooperate with the Vatican BEFORE Melania Trump announced today that she had secured a ceasefire in the EXACT SAME CITY.
American Presidents carry imperfections. They are all human after all.
Through all of our history we have never had a President who gives aid and comfort to enemies of our country, until now.
Trump not only gives aid and comfort to our enemies he stands with them and promotes their aims, not ours.
Trump is an enemy of America and democracy.
The man who went viral for carrying his corgi in a backpack is now using the same idea to help rescue dogs get noticed toting them around to boost their chances of adoption.

Trump signed an executive order trying to rewrite how states run their elections. A federal judge threw it out. The judge did her part. Do yours.

The Vanity Fair piece on Jared Kushner uncovers why he is called the new Jeffrey Epstein. Uncovered transactions reveal how the current US administration is just a front for an international criminal empire. Dutch spies hacked into Kushner’s iPhone and found of billions transferred through accounts in Dubai and Azerbaijan, essentially an Israeli colony. What is truly unsettling are the billion dollar deals with Arab royals. MBZ and the Emiratis were apparently giving billions to Kushner to fund the Mexican border wall in exchange for US protection against impending Iranian strikes (we saw how that failed). Even worse, the transactions imply Arab royals were dealing with Kushner to remap the Middle East entirely before the Palestinian genocide even accelerated after 10/7.
It is universally known the US/Israel relationship is just a criminal enterprise propped up by puppets who are managed by shadowy figures like Kushner, but his direct dealings with the Arab elite force a truly uncomfortable conversation: Did they trade the safety and future of Palestine just to secure their individual status as royalty?
