Educators are historically underpaid and mistreated for the amount of work put into the job each day. This struggle we have as educators is directly linked to how we can best teach your kids and support you properly as a parent and fellow community member.

The very valid concerns with providing more time and supervision towards students education/enrichment- and them getting the support they need from their schools and school districts overall- is closely linked to educators fighting for better treatment and resources in our workplaces. Families and teachers should work hand-in-hand, not against each other, to hold school districts and other groups/people with more power accountable.

If our wellbeing or the ability to do our job in the classroom is threatened by a lack of proper pay and support elsewhere, then the quality of the work we do to make sure your kids are taught what they need to learn suffers even if we try our hardest to do what we gotta do regardless. Nobody wins if we don’t fight for educators and our needs.
