Dear America,
The next time you want to elect a political outsider elect a teacher. Why?
- They are actual public servants.
- They are experts in dealing with various mindsets.
- They can accomplish the most w/ few resources and no support.
-And teachers can handle ANYTHING.
Huge difference between TIME covers from 2014 & 2018 about teachers! First they ridiculed & shamed, now they praise & empathize. Why? Because educators stood up & led a wave of strikes that taught the country the truth about our profession & impact of underfunding education!
What most adults will never experience in their jobs:
A student visiting them years later to say thanks for being there when nobody else was.
A parent writing an email saying you changed their child's life & they can't thank you enough.
That's why being a teacher is awesome.
Please join me in being a @tnAchieves mentor for Class of 2019! For the past 10 yrs, I've mentored to TN high school students working to go to college - with many the first in their families to go. It takes just 1 hour a month to support them. We need you! https://t.co/yanXJYs4bh
Thank you to the dozens of teachers & leaders who worked tirelessly for students at @ReadtobeReadyTN summer camps this summer! I'm grateful for your dedication and the opportunity to speak with the Read to be Ready camp directors this morning. #ReadWriteThinkTN
