Schools and children are not important to Bill Lee and Republican legislators. They can say what they want, but they neither pay us decently nor protect us from shooters. We are basically told that in the event of a shooter, lock your door and hide. I am on the second floor, yet I have no emergency rope ladder. Why not? Escaping out the window is not an option, so the only thing my students and I can do is hide. School starts tomorrow. Kids will show up. The MNPS (Nashville) website still shows 328 openings for licensed, classroom, academic teachers.
Thank you for this important article. We must support our teachers in every way possible, and starting with significant pay increases, which are crucial.
