The school year is drawing to a close, and I thank everyone who supports public education. You realize how important a strong educational system is to the continuation of our democracy. Our children are our future. You recognize that putting children first is not only humane, but makes good economic sense.
While lawmakers, politicians, and business people continue to posture for power and gain, teachers continue to work daily to educate their students. As a supporter of education, you realize that teachers want what is best for their students. Teachers are a diverse group, but our commonality is our desire to see each child reach his/her full potential. We do not have time to “wait for superman” because we are being super teachers every day. As a supporter of public education, you realize the importance of every child’s education. If one child’s education is compromised, every child is affected. Thank you for continuing to advocate for public education. Our future depends on your support!
