Teachers are done

I have a little sister who is still in the K-12 system. As such, I have kept myself informed about the situation at her school district since COVID began. Yesterday, I watched a public board meeting where teachers were crying and begging for a raise. As of this school year, there are 40 teacher vacancies throughout the district.

I basically had to beg to get a moment monthly…
