So what will it take to get you to become more actively engaged in this movement? Will it take you being a parent affected by the teachers that inspire or defeat your child or children? Will it take you being a teacher on the receiving end of disciplinary action in response to your actions to protect childrens' rights? What will it take to motivate you to take a stand for getting it right this time? How will you stop the hypocrisy in education? What can one teacher do to provide the best 21st Century education for every child? Will you be the solution on continue to contribute to the problems that plague our profession? It's up to you to decide how we can shape the future of education. We can not leave it up to the policy makers that don't have the answers or understanding to provide the right answers. We need to make a difference one child, classroom, school, district, and community at a time.
Who can you recruit to take a stand beside you and the other amazing teachers who commit selflessly to every child every single day? Find them, tell the that their voice can be heard if we stand strong together. We do not need unions or other organizations to stand together and fight for our kids and families that need programs and funding! Make a personal and professional pledge today to no longer sit quietly aside watching what is happening to our schools. Fight for them, they need us!
