$125 K or less for $10,000 of #StudentLoanForgiveness is too high. Lower it to $75K and forgive $20K and it will help much more. There isn't a PreK-12 teacher in this country who makes 125K, & not many make 75K. Keep teachers in the field.President Donald J. Trump

One of the reasons I left a teaching job after 1 year in VA 42 years ago was I was told I must paddle my third graders for disciplinary reasons. I refused.

In no other profession do people receive gifts to only be used at work. A “Be Kind” sign as a gift for a teacher is a slap in the face. #BeKind

Say it ain’t so. No more wearing pjs inside out or putting a spoon under your pillow in hopes of a snow day!!! At least teachers should build a snow activity into the daily plan.

Watching Sat evening news on ABC News. In the future, please do not identify an early childhood educator as a "Day care worker". The teacher interviewed cares for children, not days so identify her as a child care provider or an early childhood educator, but NOT a "day care worker".

Let's all say it: child care not Daycare – an outdated term that doesn’t reflect today’s child care firstthingsfirst.org/2021/08/daycar…

I did teach my university students preparing to be teachers what to do in an active shooter situation. No other college major has to do that. No wonder people are choosing other fields.😥

This is nothing new but more lights are shining on the crisis. The death of a day care: When a child care center closes, an entire community is affected 19thnews.org/2023/08/child-… via 19thnews

Come on US Athletes; sing the National Anthem when it is played instead of just standing there. French athletes all sing La Marseillaise. The USOC should strongly encouraging athletes sing along.

I am sick and tired of getting messages like this in my inbox: "Teachers! Unlock all the benefits you deserve to set up your classroom this year". Name one other profession that gets messages to save money to do their job.😬

If your heart aches & you will hug & kiss your children extra when you tuck them into bed, or are dreading, like me, going into your job this week as an educator in our country- there is a solution: Vote for legislators who will support responsible gun ownership laws.
