Why do more than half of our nation's teachers leave the classroom?
Why is there a teacher shortage?
It's often the one aspect many teacher educators leave off the syllabus. We are so very busy in the doing of teaching that we skip over the burden of teaching.
I say the burden becomes too heavy. Within the first five years they discover that teaching is not a career choice, but a deeper commitment to our nation's sacred trust to humanly educate our children.
When education reform policies reduce children:
To data points,
To career paths,
To pawns of Wall Street profiteers?
The burden becomes too heavy.
Teachers must speak up.
When education reform policies reduces our public schools to a den of inequity and injustice?
The burden becomes too heavy.
Teachers must speak up.
When public education becomes cold, ruthless, and heartless?
The burden becomes too heavy.
Teachers must speak up.
It's simple, legislators, policy makers, and education reformers!
The burden becomes too heavy.
Teachers Speak Up.
Where is the humanity in your polices?
Silence and apathy is not acceptable,
