Today was the first day of the #RedForEd walkout and ohmygod I am so proud of my states educators. They are inspiring and everything I hope to be in a teacher. This is so much more than just raises for teachers. This is really about the BIG PICTURE and funding public education because our kids deserve it. Our educators and support staff deserve to be paid a living wage.
I've had the privilege to work with several public education teachers and the struggle is real. They have little to no resources but they show up every day with smiles on their faces because they love their students. Teachers aren't just "teaching", they are providing emotional support (I've seen it, we have a student who needs frequent reassurance and that's okay),
like they really do so much more that it's impossible to scratch the surface.
