Bravo! You have said it exactly how it is. My daughter is almost finished with a teaching degree. She has wondered if this is where she should be…but after spending some time in a classroom and preparing for her year of student teaching she is smitten. She is a beautiful soul and loves to teach and loves children. They are our future, not the Governors in office. We have to stand together and vote. God Bless!

This is so beautiful. I continuously stand in awe at the ability of my kid’s (public) school to accomplish simple, but not simple, everyday miracles. It really is magical.

Thank you, Amy, for not giving up on public schools and those of us who work in them. We truly never want to be anywhere else.

Right on point. ( no dance pun untended) We don’t have children of our own buth makes no nevermind to us. Our teachers and the support staff in our schools need to make a living wage and be encouraged to continue making miracles every day.

Thanks for writing this. As a mother and a grandmother, I have been amazed time after time by how dedicated teachers are against all odds. It is heartening to see so many citizens step forward to support them now.

Beautifully written Amy… the one thing that has always kept me going is hope. If we lose hope then yes we will lose everything. Without hope, there is anxiety and fear, but if our future is secured and satisfied with hope, we can be more available to figure out how to move mountains… It doesn’t hurt to believe a little bit in magic too.
Onward soldiers!
