#willholdtheline. Let teachers know that you support them.
I’ve been a little lazy about posting lately…enjoying my granddaughter, gardening, socializing, and busying hosting out of towners. But, a plea has gone out (Thank you, Kara) that our province’s teachers are still without a contract and September is just around the corner. As a former teacher, a parent and writer and citizen, I care deeply about education. I know that teachers make a difference in the lives of children. I knew it as a student, I know it as an educator, as an author who has been in schools all across this province, and I know it as a parent. I am deeply indebted to teachers, and I want them to know that they have my support. Teachers need to know that we stand behind them as they fight for our children. They need to hear from you, and so do our politicians. Tie up their phone lines and fill their mailboxes. Demand that they make our children’s education a priority.
