My youngest teacher left due to burnout. Assistant teachers para educators, make what is about like a joking wages. Since school started she said she’s had about 60 subs. They can’t get good ones because the wages they pay are not enough to live on.
So to show support, we went and did a statement to the school board yesterday. We had 2 minutes and only I could speak. It was recorded and put on YouTube.
“It is a crime that the educators who are working with some of the most medically complex children in the district are not making a living wage. It is inexcusable that there is a shortage of caring, qualified educators because the wages are not enough to live on. Without adequate support, the caring educators we do have will burn out, creating even more need. Let’s show them that we care, by raising their wages to a level that allows them to take care of themselves so they can continue to work in a field that is so important and demands so much. Wages that will allow other caring individuals to pursue positions in this field, providing desperately needed support to children and fellow educators.”
Oh Lord, I was shaking afterwards.
I think this is the first time I’ve publicly spoken out about what happened to my family. This is only a little bit of it. I managed to get through just about the whole thing by talking very quickly during my two minutes. About three times as much as I posted. Almost four maybe.
