I taught middle school for 15 years and have been involved in education a lot longer than that. I've never seen a time when so much was asked of teachers with so little respect offered in return. It's not in any way sustainable, and we should all be speaking up about it.

Is it just me or does it seem like the strategy of kindly asking the people who helped Trump plan the insurrection to just admit everything they did to the @January6thCmte is not working for some reason?

It’s a good day to tell educators…

I believe IN you.

@matheeli Matilda, Madeline, Millicent, Mackenzie, Mariko, Magdeline, Mirabella-all would pair nicely with Jane & have lovely alliteration & rhythm with last; plus, they leave you with creative options for nicknames. I love the name Maisy/Maisie/Macey too. Best of luck!

“I’m convinced that the pendulum is set to swing back in support of public institutions and public schools. While the fight is exhausting and often dispiriting, this is actually an exciting time to be an advocate for public schools.”

Each legislative session, state leadership creates a necessity for K-12 educators & related prof. orgs. to spend countless hrs defending public schs, proving relevancy, declaring educators’ pride & worth & begging for adequate funding.

Enough K-12 Abuse.

Shameful.
