Love this!! 100% truth

Thank you for writing this and exposing what so many of us think and know but don’t have the courage to do so. You cited many reasons as why I left that campus as well.

I shared your post to a FB Charter school page I am in and all comments said your article is written very well. I hated recruiting days because I felt that I could no longer in good faith sell this school to parents. Seeing people placed in positions with zero experience is very disturbing. Seeing teachers reach level 4 master teachers when lesson plans are never turned in or turned in weeks later, when their data was well below other schools when compared to their grade level is insane. One only knows it happens because of favoritism. Again I’m so grateful for this article. So many including myself are/were afraid to speak up due to retaliation. Thank you for shedding light to the issues at hand.

Time to speak up. To advocate for our students needs. After all that's also part of the job of being a teacher. If you are not willing to advocate for your needs as a teacher ( and your students) how can you possible teach your students to advocate for themselves
