Yes, the assault on public education is a bit demoralizing but as educators and supporters of public education, I am calling upon everyone to take action. Educators MAKE a difference and we have to get the word out. Never shy away from being proud of saying that or touting the good that accrues to children because of our work.
Perhaps there is one telling fact that remains with me to this day that helps to tell the story of the beauty of public education and teachers.
Ask 10, 20 or 50 people who made a difference in lives. I don't care if they are 35 years of age, nearing retirement or in the twilight of life. Many, many of these individuals will tell you that a teacher MADE a difference in their lives.
That alone should highlight the importance of public education.
