The tax write off for teachers is maxed at $350 and year. That's all the government allows. I've been teaching for 25 years and most of us spend a minimum of $1000 per year on our classrooms, out of pocket. They don't provide us with posters , dry erase markers, crayons, paper, pencils, or anything else necessary to run a classroom. As far a pay goes, most of us have at least one other job to supplement our income because no, we do not make enough to fund our classroom and support our families. Not to mention, in order to make more money in education, you have to have more degrees. I am working on my 4th degree and I still won't be close to 6 figures. We don't do it for the money. We do it because we want to make a difference in the lives of children.

@mattvanswol I've been calling it a "constructed reality" for a reason. Only God, Jesus, and His Word are real.

America isn’t perfect. We all know that. We have our problems, our bureaucracy, our frustrations, and sometimes things happen that should never happen.

But this week I also saw something that reminded me why I love this country.

A South African refugee with a prosthetic leg was left in an impossible situation. Within hours, Americans and fellow South Africans rallied around him. A fundraiser took off. People donated. Strangers made phone calls. They found housing. They solved the problem.

Then another older South African couple found themselves in trouble after arriving in Kentucky. Once again, people stepped in. Once again, ordinary Americans refused to look the other way.

That is America too.

Our government doesn’t always get everything right, but the American people have always had something special: grit. When someone falls, we don’t just point at the problem. We grab a shovel, a toolbox, a casserole, a wallet, or a prayer… and we get to work.

To every South African family arriving here, please remember this:

Your children are watching.

They are learning that life isn’t always fair, even in the greatest countries. But they’re also learning something far more important: how people respond when life isn’t fair.

They are watching you choose courage over fear, hope over despair, and perseverance over giving up. Those lessons will stay with them long after these difficult first weeks are behind you.

And to @viking_boer , thank you.

You saw a problem, didn’t wait for someone else to fix it, and immediately went into action. Leaders aren’t the people with the fanciest titles. They’re the ones who see someone hurting and decide, “I’m going.”

Many Americans can’t fully understand what you’ve endured. We haven’t lived through what so many Afrikaners have experienced. We know this transition is one of the hardest things you’ll ever do. We also know this:

Being mistreated is not normal.

You deserve dignity. You deserve opportunity. You deserve the chance to build a future for your families.

That’s why these stories upset so many Americans. Not because you’re strangers, but because we’ve come to know you as hardworking, resilient, family-centered people who simply want the opportunity to contribute.

America isn’t perfect.

But I still believe she’s the last great bastion of hope.

And when ordinary Americans and extraordinary South Africans stand shoulder to shoulder, proving that neighbors don’t have to share a birthplace to share compassion…

…that’s America at her very best. 🇺🇸❤️

@RuthlessRuthDV @DefiyantlyFree No clue. I didn't dive that far. But I think she has a video on her channel that explains why she does it. Her channel is called the dolls aren't real or something like that.
