If we truly want improvements lets go to the heart of the matter. I have 17 grandchildren in school and college. In our family we have 1 retired teacher and 1 young lady in college training to become a teacher. They all work long hours. School is not out at 3 p.m. nor are weekends off.
Most educators attend sport or academic games to support their students.
They also must make up lesson plans, correct papers, take phone calls and buy supplies. It takes dedication to be a real teacher. I have seen what the difference in changing priorities and funding has done for my district. In my district, approx. This costs every child in the state in terms of what the rest of them can receive.
