Four years ago, my spouse had to make a choice: continue in the teaching profession (as she had been doing for 10+ years) or…..provide for her family and kids the way that she wanted to. At the time the General Assembly was reducing its funding to public schools. She hadn’t had a raise in 10 years and the outlook for the teaching profession was bleak. Tears were shed at the decision….
 
Thank you to all the teachers who are headed to Raleigh today and taking the fight for increased support to the General Assembly.
 
My wife continues to support teachers and students, but in a different role than as a teacher.
