In my 24 years of teaching, I’ve never once voiced my political opinions to my students. Teachers come from a position of leadership and influence and with that comes responsibility. Classrooms are places where students learn about facts, not absorb a teacher’s opinions.

A 4-day school week for students is perfect for ALL involved. TEACHERS can use the 5th day to catch up with their insane workload! STUDENTS can catch up & participate in ANY off-campus, extra curriculars they’re interested in without the wildness of a minute-to-minute schedule.

Things teachers want to say to parents… -Take the phone away at night. Your kid isn’t getting enough sleep. -Don’t believe everything your kid says. They lie…A LOT! -Teach your kid to have some grit. Also teach them to be nice! -Stop blaming everyone for your kid’s issues.
