When I was interviewed for Teacher of the Year, I was asked what my message would be as I traveled the state representing public education. My answer both then and now is “Stay and fight.” Our kids are worth it, and the job is worth it.
I didn’t always think this way, but some life-changing experiences outside the classroom completely changed my perspective.
I have 34 years of experience in the classroom in this state, and my wife has 32.
